Not wishing to provide an inferior translation, or take something out of context, i'm open to reasonable elucidation.

Now, as each part is performed, the Raksases seek to injure the sacrifice; ‘The Raksas is encompassed, the evil spirits are encompassed’, he says, to smite away the Raksases

The Raksas are hostile spirits which try to intefere with a ritual

Wrong you boofhead.

You cannot get true knowledge from wiki or from bogus translations.

Or from the Vedas it seems, unless you now support cruelty to animals?
