21.119

Now the Santani: / Speech is extended, which is the twelve-day rite. / They link it together with the Santani. / The breaths are indeed the links; / speech is linked by the breaths. / That there is the Santani is for the connection of the breaths, [so that they think,] 'Let us link speech together with the breaths.' / These worlds are links; these worlds are the Mahānāmnīs. / That there is the Santani is for the connection of these worlds. / For him who knows thus, these worlds are extended continuously. / 'Towards glory, high renown'—[the word] 'towards' (abhi) is the form of the Rathantara. / This day belongs to the Rathantara. / 'Quickening the thoughts for the quest for cattle'—thus they contain [the word] 'cow' and contain [the word] 'cattle', to secure cattle, / for this day belongs to cattle.
