tasmān na etasyām velāyām atikrāntam ulbaṇam sadasyo bodhayeta iti ha sma āha paiṅgyaḥ / (soma: chandomāh)

> the Sadas should not call attention to a flaw passed over at this time', Paiṅgya used to say; 'he knocks into a pillar or falls into a pit or is put into one or perishes', he used to say. 'If the priest in the Sadas should call attention to a flaw passed over, there must not be repetition of what has been done,' Āruṇi used to say; 'There is loss of a secondary element,' said Çvetaketu. 'Therefore the priest in the Sadas should not call attention to a flaw passed over,' Paiṅgya used to say. 'It is a tribulation to the sacrifice if the priest in the Sadas calls attention to a flaw passed over'. 'Therefore the priest in the Sadas should not call attention to a flaw passed over,' Paiṅgya used to say.
