> Therefore cattle give birth to various forms: both a white \[cow\] gives birth to a black \[calf\], and a black gives birth to a white; both a red gives birth to a speckled, and a speckled to a red. It consists of nine verses. Nine indeed are the breaths in man. They proceed prospering with the breaths, firmly established in the breaths. The second consists of nine verses; the third consists of nine verses. In regular order they proceed prospering with the breaths. It consists of five verses; the paṅkti indeed has five feet; cattle are fivefold; cattle are the chandomas, for the acquisition of cattle. As to this they say: "The six-day pṛṣṭhya has seasons, the chandomas are without seasons; these that are the chandomas are established as though seasonless." Because these \[hymns\] consist of five verses and six verses, the chandomas are thereby made to possess seasons. There is a finale (paryāsa) for the maintenance of creatures, for the support of cattle. The stoma is forty-four-fold. The triṣṭubh indeed has forty-four syllables; the triṣṭubh is faculty and vital power; they proceed firmly established in faculty and vital power.
