Thus in the Agni Mahāpurāṇa, in (the section on) the expiation of all sins, the hundred and seventy-second chapter, called the Hymn that Destroys Sin. || Now the hundred and seventy-third chapter: Expiation. Agni said: I shall declare the expiation taught by Brahmā, which brings the quieting of sin. An act whose result is the separation (of a being) from life-breath is called killing.
