Whoever sacrifices here, him they would conquer. Twice has he sacrificed; they just conquered that one.' He showed him world after world, [saying,] 'Having sacrificed, one wins this world, and this.' He reflected: 'Even if they conquer that one, come, let me sacrifice!' He said to him, 'Officiate for me!' He officiated for him.

Rising up himself, cutting him down, he threw him into the water.
