19. As to this they say, “How does this shower of wealth of his attain to (conformity with) the Great Litany, how does it correspond to the Great Litany?” Well, the first nine formulas of this shower of wealth are the threefold head; and the forty-eight which follow are the twenty-four-fold wings; and the twenty-five which follow are the twenty-five-fold body; and the twenty-one which follow are the tail, as the twenty-first; and the thirty-five which follow are the Vasha (hymn); and by the eighties (of verses) which follow those eighties (Of the mahad uktham) are obtained, for by eighties the Great Litany is counted; and what there is after the eighties, that to him (corresponds to) what, in the Great Litany, there is after the eighties; and thus this shower of wealth of his attains to (conformity with) the Great Litany, and corresponds to the Great Litany.
