He then prepares a cake on ten potsherds for Tvashtri,--for Tvashtri (the fashioner, creator) rules over living forms, and with Tvashtri, the living forms, Varuna on that occasion stole along; and in like manner does this one now steal along with Tvashtri, the living forms. At this (oblation) he presents one lotus-flower.
