6. “The Paṅkti metre! the Ushnih metre! the Brihati metre! the Anushtubh metre! the Viraj metre! the Gayatri metre! the Trishtubh metre! the Jagati metre!” these eight defined metres, including the Viraj, he puts down.—[The back set, with, Vajasaneyi Samhita XIV, 19], “The metre Earth! the metre Air! the metre Heaven! the metre Years! the metre Stars! the metre Speech! the metre Mind! the metre Husbandry! the metre Gold! the metre Cow! the metre Goat! the metre Horse!” he thus puts down those metres which are sacred to those particular deities.—[The left set, with, Vajasaneyi Samhita XIV, 20], “The deity Fire! the deity Wind! the deity Sun! the deity Moon! the deity Vasavah! the deity Rudrah! the deity Adityah! the deity Marutah! the deity Vishve Devah! the deity Brihaspati! the deity Indra! the deity Varuna!”—these deities, doubtless, are metres: it is these he thus lays down.
