Âsuri, on the other hand, said: 'By means of the two butter-portions he gains any two (of those objects); by means of the low-voiced offering he obtains any (other) two; and by means of the rice-cake he obtains any (other) two: "all has been obtained, all has been conquered by me! with that All I will slay Vritra; with the All I will slay the spiteful enemy!" thus he thinks, and for that reason there is this manifold performance.'
