The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c16.s2.12

v1.c16.s2.12

³ It is hardly fair to speak of his demoniac power (Hopkins, *Trans. Conn. Acad.*, xv. 44) on the strength of PB. xviii. 9. 7, 17 (offerings *nirvaruṇatvāya*, i.e. to deprecate punishment for error). But his curse is feeble (PB. xii. 18. 2), and his chief use is to dispose of errors in the offering, PB. xiii. 2. 4.; xv. 1. 3; 2. 4; 7. 7; he guards what is well offered, Viṣṇu repairs errors, AB. iii. 38.
