Preview of English translation:

10. For an ishti (which is performed in order to obtain the fulfilment of a special wish) let him recite seventeen samidheni verses; for in a low voice he sacrifices to the deity to which he offers an ishti. Twelve months, namely, there are in a year, and five seasons: this (makes) the seventeenfold Prajapati. For verily Prajapati is all: hence for what wish he performs the ishti, that wish he thus accomplishes by means of the All. In a low voice he sacrifices to the deity; for what is spoken in a low voice is undefined (indistinct), and undefined is the 'All:' hence for whatever wish he performs the ishti, that wish he thus accomplishes by means of the All. This is the practice in regard to an ishti.
