Saying 'Svāhā, svāhā, svāhā,' she sacrificed twelve times. She bound together thirty and thirty [syllables]. She became thirty syllables in her own self. Two syllables approached her from behind: she became that very Anuṣṭubh. Therefore, the two breasts of a woman emerge as if from behind [in growth]. She is that very Virāj with breasts. Since she sacrificed twelve times, she created those twelve months. They became the twelve days of the twelve-day rite; they became the twenty-four half-months; they became the seven hundred and twenty days and nights. She created this year, the sacrifice. For this sacrifice is indeed the year. She did not know: 'Have I created a sacrifice?' She thought only: 'Have I created something?' Joy came upon her. Then she knew: 'I have created a sacrifice.' She considered: 'This sacrifice which I have created—come, let me extend it out of my very own self.'
