Preview of English translation:
10. Then as to the Nishkevalya (-shastra). The Mahanamni (verses) are the Prishtha (-stotra); and he recites them along with the anurupa (verses) and pragatha (-strophes), for the obtainment of all the objects of his desire, for in the Mahanamnis, as well as in the Ashvamedha, are contained all objects of desire. Having recited the paṅkti verses (I, 81, 1-9) “Indra hath grown in ebriety and strength,” and the six-footed ones (VIII, 37, 1-7) “This sacred work didst thou protect in fights with Vritra,” he inserts the Nivid in the (hymn) of the one-day’s sacrifice. The midday-service is (thus) set right.
