22. Then that Brihati (metre),—the two (verses) of thirty-two syllables: that makes thirty-two; then those two formulas: that makes thirty-four; Agni the thirty-fifth;—a metre does not vanish by a syllable (too much or too little), neither by one nor by two;—moreover, that (Agni) consists of two syllables: that makes thirty-six. The Brihati consists of thirty-six syllables,—it is the Brihati that that (Ahavaniya) pile thus amounts to; for whatlike the seed which is infused into the womb, suchlike (offspring) is born therefrom: thus in that he makes up that Brihati (metre) in this (Garhapatya hearth), thereby that (Ahavaniya) fire-altar amounts to the Brihati.
