10. Moving, indeed, are the waters, moving is the sun, moving the moon, and moving the stars; and, verily, as if these deities did not move and act, even so will the Brahmana be on that day on which he does not study his lesson: therefore one’s (daily) lesson should be studied. And hence let him at least pronounce either a Rik-verse or a Yajus-formula, or a Saman-verse, or a Gatha, or a Kumbya, to ensure continuity of the Vrata.
