PLATE V. Horus standing on the back of the Hippopotamus-fiend, and spearing him in the presence of Isis. PLATE VI. The "Butcher-priest" slicing open the Hippopotamus-fiend. In gladness of heart Ra proposed a sail on the Nile, but as soon as his enemies heard that he was coming, they changed themselves into crocodiles and hippopotami, so that they might be able to wreck his boat and devour him.
On one side of the precinct a clever butcher-priest severs with one stroke the heads of goats which are brought for sacrifice to the thirsty deity. As in Madura, so in Benares, the great god of the Hindu is Siva. But the character of the worship which is rendered to him and to others of his cult is far from ennobling when not actually revolting.
