> Now, for whom there is this three-day rite consisting of the Jyotis, Go, and Āyus \[days\], a twenty-fourth day, and an Atirātra with all the stomas: one who desires, 'May the Mahāvrata be approached by me indirectly,' should sacrifice with this. In that there is a twenty-fourth day, thereby indeed the Mahāvrata is approached by him indirectly. Furthermore, whatever hiṃkāra, prastāva, or pratihāra occurs there, thereby the twenty-fifth is attained by him. There is an Atirātra with all the stomas, for conquering and striding across all the worlds; for all this is indeed the stomas. And also \[he thinks\], 'Having prospered together with those individual stomas which we have approached, establishing ourselves in them, let us reach the end.' Now, for whom there is this three-day rite consisting of the Trivṛt, Pañcadaśa, and Saptadaśa \[days\], a twenty-fourth day, and a Jyotiratirātra: one who desires, 'May the Mahāvrata be approached by me indirectly,' should sacrifice with this. In that there is a twenty-fourth day, thereby indeed the Mahāvrata is approached by him indirectly. Furthermore, whatever hiṃkāra, prastāva, or pratihāra occurs there, thereby the twenty-fifth is attained by him. There is a Jyotiratirātra; this indeed is the known divine ford, that is, the Jyotiratirātra. \[He thinks\], 'By the known divine ford, uninjured, may we uninjured reach the end.'
