11.9.1
Moreover, these three [recitations] in the sacrifice consist of a thousand [verses]:
11.9.2
the morning recitation, the Āśvina śastra, and the Mahāvrata.
11.9.3
He should begin this recitation deep in the night, before the emission of voice,
11.9.4
before that time when animals, humans, and birds take up their voices,
11.9.6
[thinking,] 'Let me first attain swelling, undivided speech.'
11.9.7
He does not utter [ordinary] speech between the morning recitation and the Upāṃśu and Antaryāma [offerings].
11.9.8
The Upāṃśu and Antaryāma are out-breath and in-breath.
11.9.9
The morning recitation is speech.
11.9.10
[He does so] lest he separate out-breath, in-breath, and speech with anything else.
11.9.11
Now some, having murmured: 'Who is the wise one that knows the conjunction of metres?', begin with: 'O waters, rich in wealth, you possess goods.'
11.9.12
Nothing should be omitted before 'O waters, rich in wealth.'
11.9.13
This is established here for non-fracture; this is established here for non-fracture.
