'What gift of yours is the giver of wealth, place favor in us, O Vasu!'—thus he adjoins. The praise of the Mahānāmnī is performed for the sake of this: the joining of the secondary additions is to be done preceded by an understanding and full recollection of the meaning of all the Mahānāmnī verses; otherwise, without [such a requirement], the praise of the entire Mahānāmnī would be useless if praise were merely for that much. By the division into triplets, 'vidā maghavan', 'samūtaye', and 'nūnam' are the three Mahānāmnī verses.
'Hari presiding over the earth is expressed by the first Mahānāmnī; / the Lord presiding over the mid-region by the second, and the Lord dwelling in heaven by the third'—thus in the Ṛk-saṃhitā. / 'The three Mahānāmnī verses consist of triplets: the first is five verses, the subsequent / consists of a triplet and a couplet, and the third is combined with seven recitations; / such is the twofold division in the rituals of chanting, meditation, and the like'—and: / 'The Ṣoḷaśin sacrifice was fashioned by Hari who moves through the three worlds; / knowing Hari thus and performing ritual action, one is not born again'—thus in the Pravṛtta.
