Preview of English translation:
24. He then arranged the two other Vedas into twelve thousand Brihatis,—eight (thousand) of the Yajus (formulas), and four of the Saman (hymns)—for of that extent is what was created by Prajapati in these two Vedas. At the thirtieth arrangement these two came to an end in the Paṅktis; and because it was at the thirtieth arrangement that they came to an end, there are thirty nights in the month; and because it was in the Paṅktis, therefore Prajapati is 'paṅkta.' There were one hundred-and-eight hundred Paṅktis.
