13.3.1.4

The Katushtoma is the form of chanting (on the first day); for a bee tore out (a piece of) the horse's thigh, and by means of the Katushtoma form of chanting the gods restored it: thus when there is the Katushtoma mode of chanting, it is for the completeness of the horse. The last day is an Atirâtra with all the Stomas --with a view to his obtaining and securing everything, for an Atirâtra with all the Stomas is everything, and the Asvamedha is everything.
