5.5.5.14

atho hainayāpyabhicaret | etayā vai bhadrasenamājātaśatravamāruṇirabhicacāra kṣipraṃ kilāstṛṇuteti ha smāha yājñavalkyo 'pi ha vā enayendro vṛtrasyāsthānamacinadapi ha vā enayāsthānaṃ cinatti ya enayābhicarati tasmādu hainayāpyabhicaret

And indeed one may also practise magic by this (offering); for it was thereby that Ârani bewitched Bhadrasena Âgâtasatrava: 'Quick, then, spread (the barhis)!' thus Yâgñavalkya used to say. And by this (offering) indeed Indra also shattered Vritra's retreat; and, verily, he who therewith practises magic shatters thereby the retreat (of his enemy): therefore one may also practise magic with this (offering).
