They prepared the Initiation-offering. But the Asuras became aware of it, and said, 'Having made up the sacrifice, the gods are now spreading out that truth: come, let us fetch hither what was ours!' The Samishtayagus of that (offering) was not yet performed, when they arrived: whence people offer no Samishtayagus for that sacrifice. The gods, espying the Asuras, snatched up the sacrifice, and began doing something else. They (the Asuras) went away again, thinking, 'It is something else they are doing.'
