3.9.4.19

sa vai trirabhiṣuṇoti | triḥ sambharati caturnigrābhamupaiti taddaśa daśākṣarā vai virāḍvairājaḥ somastasmāddaśa kṛtvaḥ sampādayati

Thrice he presses, thrice he gathers together, four times he performs the Nigrâbha,--this makes ten, for of ten syllables consists the virâg, and Soma is of virâg nature: therefore he completes (the ceremony) in ten times.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
