Man, indeed, stands placed beyond [it].
Ten indeed are the fingers of a man's hands, ten of his feet, ten breaths, two supports;
the self is the thirty-third.
Wild animals run turned away;
therefore, they turn toward a deer that turns its ears [in hearing].
For it is performed for one who turns his ears [in hearing].
These are Prajāpati's unique-hero sons, namely the stomas of the twelve-day rite.
Then they say: 'This day is twenty-fourfold;
all of it should be made twenty-fourfold, in order not to go against these unique-hero sons of Prajāpati.'
Because these [verses] have thirty-three syllables, they do not omit the thirty-three-stoma thereby.
Rather, more forms are missing;
more forms are indeed the other [way].
The thirty-three[-stoma] alone is to be performed.
All the deities, indeed, are thirty-three.
In all these deities at the end of the sacrifice do they become established.
Moreover, firmly established indeed is this stoma that belongs to all deities, where the thirty-three[-stoma] is.
Therefore, the thirty-three-stoma alone is to be performed at the end.
