27.5.8

Now, this is the milking of the tenth day:

27.5.9

so that there may be a thousand and fifteen Anuṣṭubhs,

27.5.11

Having set aside fifteen, from each hundred he sets aside four.

Of the Gāyatrī and the Uṣṇih there are six feet; of the Virāj, three: those are nine;

27.5.18

four of the Bṛhatī: those are thirteen;

27.5.19

five of the Paṅkti: those are eighteen;

27.5.20

four of the Triṣṭubh: those are twenty-two;

27.5.21

eight of the Jagatī and the aticchandas: those are thirty;

27.5.22

two of the Dvipadā: those are thirty-two.

27.5.23

Thus this metrical-line Anuṣṭubh becomes the thirty-first.
