24. For, when he who is consecrated utters anything that is foreign to the vow, or when he becomes angry, he commits a fault and breaks his vow, since suppression of anger behoves him who is consecrated. Now, Agni is the Lord of vows among the gods,—it is to him therefore that he resorts (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 16; Rig-veda VIII, II, 7): “Thou, O Agni, art the divine guardian of vows among men, to whom praise is due at the sacrifices.” This, then, is his atonement for that (transgression); and thus that fault is not committed by him, and he does not break his vow: therefore he says, “Thou, O Agni, art the divine guardian of vows among men, to whom praise is due at the sacrifices.”
