21.6.29

klṛpto vā abhiplavaḥ klṛptac chandāḥ /

xxi. 6. The Abhiplava is a definitely arranged (sacrifice) with definite metres. The Nivids inserted in a sacrificial rite which has definite metres are all in Jagatī at the third pressing. So duly are the Nivids inserted; they being duly inserted place them duly in all worlds and in all desires. In that the Nivids are inserted all in Jagatī at the third pressing, thereby is there obtained whatever is desired in a third pressing all of Jagatī (verses). Again, in that day by day these Triṣṭubh verses from the model are recited, thereby is there obtained whatever is desired in a third pressing all of Triṣṭubh (verses). Again, in that day by day this Gāyatrī from the model, 'Maker of fair forms', is recited, thereby is there obtained whatever is desired in a third pressing all of Gāyatrī. In that this six-day (rite) repeatedly approaches (abhiplavate), therefore is it called Abhiplava, for by it the sacrificers approach the world of heaven.
