Then there is the Pārtha with two repetitions, the form of the second day; / for this day is second by its domain. / Then the Śākvara Ṛṣabha. / The Simas are cattle; the Revatīs are cattle; the Ṛṣabha is cattle. / They introduce a bull among the cattle for pairing, for procreation. / One who knows thus propagates with a pair. / And it is established on two deities each. / Therefore a bull, mounting, becomes two-footed. / These are four-syllable deities. / Therefore, being two-footed, he mounts; / he generates four-footed [offspring]. / One who knows thus propagates with offspring and cattle. / And it is fivefold. / It is performed on the fivefold day for fullness of form. / 'The prize-winning drop flows, rich in cows'— / thus they are verses containing 'cow', containing cattle, for the securing of cattle; / for this day is cattle.
