> Now this is the Virāj-Svarāj \[sacrifice\].  
> Two brothers should sacrifice with this sacrifice,  
> who should desire: 'May one of us attain kingship, and the other autonomous rule.' It corresponds to the Virāj and the Anuṣṭubh.  
> For kingship is what the Virāj is;  
> and autonomous rule is what the Anuṣṭubh is.  
> With the Virāj the younger attains kingship; with the Anuṣṭubh the elder attains autonomous rule, \[that\] world.  
> Its two sāmans are both the Bṛhat and the Rathantara.  
> For kingship is what the Rathantara is;  
> and autonomous rule is what the Bṛhat is.  
> With the Rathantara the younger attains kingship;  
> with the Bṛhat the elder attains autonomous rule, \[that\] world.  
> It has three nine-verse stotras, three fifteen-verse, three seventeen-verse,  
> \[and\] three twenty-one-verse.  
> With the nine-verse ones the younger attains kingship; with the fifteen-verse ones the elder attains autonomous rule, \[that\] world.  
> With the seventeen-verse ones the younger attains kingship; with the twenty-one-verse ones the elder attains autonomous rule, \[that\] world.
