sa vā aṣṭāśrirbhavati | aṣṭākṣarā vai gāyatrī pūrvārdho vai yajñasya gāyatrī pūrvārdhe eṣa yajñasya tasmādaṣṭāśrirbhavati
It is (made to be) eight-cornered, for eight syllables has the Gâyatrî, and the Gâyatrî is the fore-part of the sacrifice, as this (stake) is the forepart of the sacrifice: therefore it is eight-cornered.
