RITE OF VIGIL FHEE TRANSLATION. 



367 



There is some anibiguity in the words of the lines of Song 2, " the 

 blue-backed one sends forth the arrow." As the back of the sacred 

 hawk is painted blue it may be that reference is here made to that 

 fact and it is he who speeds the arrows. It is clear, however, that in 

 both stanzas of the song the red and the black arrows are being sent 

 in pursuit of the Day and the Night. 



A translation of two lines from each of the two stanzas is given.
