2.5.1.21

trīṇi samiṣṭayajūṃṣi bhavanti | jyāya iva hīdaṃ haviryajñādyatra navaprayājaṃ navānuyājamatho apyekameva syāddhaviryajño hi tasya prathamajo gaurdakṣiṇā

There are three Samishtayagus; for this (offering) is decidedly greater than an (ordinary) havir-yagña, since it has nine fore-offerings and nine after-offerings. However, there may also be only a single Samishtayagus, since this is a havir-yagña. The priest's fee for it (consists of) the firstborn calf (of the season).
