[636] "And what, brahmin, is the individual who torments himself, devoted to the practice of tormenting himself, and who also torments others, devoted to the practice of tormenting others? Here, brahmin, a certain individual is a head-anointed khattiya king or a brahmin of great wealth. Having had a new ceremonial hall built to the east of the city, having shaved off his hair and beard, having clothed himself in a rough antelope hide, having anointed his body with ghee and oil, scratching his back with a deer's antler, he enters the ceremonial hall together with his chief queen and the brahmin high priest. There he lies down on the bare, uncovered ground smeared with fresh green [cow dung]. The king sustains himself on the milk in the first teat of a single cow with a calf of the same appearance; the chief queen sustains herself on the milk in the second teat; the brahmin high priest sustains himself on the milk in the third teat; with the milk in the fourth teat he makes oblation to the fire; the calf sustains itself on what remains. He speaks thus: 'Let so many bulls be slain for the sacrifice; let so many bullocks be slain for the sacrifice; let so many heifers be slain for the sacrifice; let so many goats be slain for the sacrifice; let so many rams be slain for the sacrifice; let so many trees be felled for the sacrificial posts; let so much dabba grass be reaped for the strewing.' And those who are his slaves, or messengers, or workers—they too, threatened with punishment, threatened with fear, with tearful faces, weeping, carry out the preparations. This, brahmin, is called the individual who torments himself, devoted to the practice of tormenting himself, and who also torments others, devoted to the practice of tormenting others."
