These two raised vajras stand at the end, for the guarding of cattle, for the non-scattering of cattle. His property is not scattered, who knows thus. All the form, sap, and fiery brilliance of the pṛṣṭhas are gathered here. In the very whole form of the pṛṣṭhas, in the sap, in the fiery brilliance, in the unconquered meter, they firmly stand at the end of the sacrifice. Before its finale, they take up the pratihāra. By the prastāva and the pratihāra, indeed, the sacrificer is held up. They are as if passed by at this point; as they take up the pratihāra before the finale, it is just for not overstepping. It has an independent tone. It sounds toward the seventh day. It becomes one with an independent tone. With the independent tone they proceed on the next day. It is as if one would step across from level ground to level ground, as if one would connect breath with breath: like that it is.
