According to some Indic authorities an arrow is shot off at the moment the accused is dropped into the water, and a 'swift runner' goes after and fetches it back.
"If at his return he find the body of the accused still under water, the latter shall be declared to be innocent."[40] According to Kaegi this ordeal would appear to be unknown in Europe before the ninth century.

In both countries Water (in India, Varuna) is invoked not to keep the body of a guilty man but to reject it (make it float).
Food-ordeal: Some Hindu law-books prescribe that in the case of suspected theft the accused shall eat consecrated rice.

If the gums be not hurt, no blood appear on spitting, and the man do not tremble, he will be innocent.

This is also a Teutonic test, but it is to be observed that the older laws in India do not mention it.
On the basis of these examples (not chosen in historical sequence) Kaegi has concluded, while admitting that ordeals with a general similarity to these have arisen quite apart from Aryan influence, that there is here a bit of primitive Aryan law; and that even the minutiae of the various trials described above are _un_-Aryan.

This we do not believe.
