They say: 'Where are they connected?' He should say: 'On the tenth day.' By means of triplets they connect the single verses on both sides, for the connection of the breaths, for non-interruption. Verily, these [meters] contemplate one another's world: the brahman contemplates the kṣatra; the kṣatra [contemplates] the viś; the viś [contemplates] the brahman. Contemplating one another's world, they fulfill desire. With whatever desire one brings them in, that desire succeeds for him. The first three-day period has its meters flowing straight forward: thereby it is made fresh. They rearrange the meters of the second [three-day period]: thereby the second three-day period is made fresh. They rearrange the meters of the third [three-day period]: thereby the third three-day period is made fresh.
