43. As to this they say, “If there are that water and that flesh, where then is the skin, and where the hair?” Well, the skin of cattle is food, and the hair of cattle is food; and when he lays down the Chandasyah, that is the skin of the victims, that is their hair. Or, again, those goats’ hair which are in the fire-pan, they are hair. The fire-pan is outside, and the victims’ heads are inside, for outside is the hair, and inside is the body. “Whether in the one way, or whether in the other,” so Shandilya was wont to say, “in any case we make up the victims wholly and completely.”
