7. “The sharp-edged Vayu (wind) art thou!” he adds; for that indeed is the sharpest edge, to wit, that (wind) which here blows: for that one sweeps right across these worlds. He thereby makes it sharp. When he (further) says: “The killer of the enemy!” let him, whether he wishes to exorcise or not, say: “The killer of so and so!” When it has been sharpened, he must not touch either himself or the earth with it: “Lest I should hurt either myself or the earth with that sharp thunderbolt,” thus he thinks, and for that reason he does not touch either himself or the earth with it.
