Some Sāman chanters make this day have all the Stomas, (saying) ‘By this day they obtained the six-day period, by the six-day period the year and the desires in the year; the whole year is the six-day period.’ If they do this he should make the Çastra composed of the six-day period. The Ājya should be the Ājya of the first day; the Praüga the Praüga of the second day; the Marutvatīya the Marutvatīya of the third day; the Niṣkevalya the Niṣkevalya of the fourth day; the Vaiçvadeva the Vaiçvadeva of the fifth day; the Āgnimāruta the Āgnimāruta of the sixth day. Then collecting all the verses of the Pṛṣṭha Stotras and making them into Pragāthas he should recite them after the Pragātha, to obtain the six-day period.
