19.9.5

imā́ni yā́ni páñcendriyā́ni mánaḥṣaṣṭhāni me hr̥dí bráhmaṇā sáṃśitāni |
yáir evá sasr̥jé ghoráṃ táir evá śā́ntir astu naḥ ||5||

These five senses, with mind as sixth, that are in my heart, sharpened by bráhman, by which is produced what is terrible—by them be there appeasement for us.
The mss. read mána ṣaṣṭhā́ni (p. mánaḥ: ṣaṣṭhā́ni), but SPP., as well as our text, emends to -ṭhāni, and this the comm. also understands. In all the verses 3-5, some of the mss. leave sasṛje unaccented. This verse (10 + 8 + 7: 8 + 8 = 41) is ill defined by the Anukr.
