सामि मार्जयन्त एतत् प्रति वा असुराणां यज्ञो व्यच्छिद्यत- vyastam iva vā etad yajñasya yad iḍā sāmi prāśnanti
sāmi mārjayanta etat prati vā asurāṇāṃ yajño vyacchidyata - The Ida is as it were a breach in the ritual worship; half they eat, half they wipe; in this regard the ritual worship of the Asuras was broken
