10. That twenty-one-fold one, indeed, is the head of the sacrifice; and, verily, he who knows three heads on the Ashvamedha, becomes the head of kings. There are the twenty-one-fold altar, the twenty-one-fold Stoma, and twenty-one stakes: these are the three heads on the Ashvamedha; and, verily, he who thus knows them becomes the head of kings. And, indeed, he who knows the three tops on the Ashvamedha, becomes the top of kings;—there are the twenty-one-fold altar, the twenty-one-fold Stoma, and twenty-one stakes: these, indeed, are the three tops on the Ashvamedha; and, verily, he who thus knows them becomes the top of kings.
