ŚĀ 2.4
Then he recites this axle verse. It is a Triṣṭubh. Therefore the axle is the thickest. 'Lofty are the arms of you, the old one, O Indra' is appropriate to the arms. Then he recites the stotriya and anurūpa verses of the Rathantara. The Brāhmaṇa concerning them has been stated. Then he recites the insertion verse (dhāyyā). This [earth] indeed is the dhāyyā, for this [earth] is placed (hitā) among all beings. It is placed on the right side. Therefore a woman lies on the right side of a man. Then he recites the pragātha of the Rathantara. The Brāhmaṇa concerning it has been stated. 'He alone is to be invoked among the peoples' is the hymn, [recited] pāda by pāda. Having taken out the second [verse] of it, [he inserts] 'For every other enemy has approached.' That which is the second [verse] of that [other hymn], that he makes the second here. Thus he intertwines these two wings so that they do not break off.
