17. Thereupon he makes (the sacrificer) say while touching it (Vajasaneyi Samhita VI, 4; Rig-veda I, 22, 19), “See ye the deeds of Vishnu, whereby he beheld the sacred ordinances, Indra’s allied friend!” For he who has set up the sacrificial stake has hurled the thunderbolt: “See ye Vishnu’s conquest!” he means to say when he says, “See ye the deeds of Vishnu, whereby he beheld the sacred ordinances, Indra’s allied friend.” Indra, forsooth, is the deity of the sacrifice, and the sacrificial stake belongs to Vishnu; he thereby connects it with Indra; therefore he says, “Indra’s allied friend.”
