²³⁵⁶ The verses are repeated as follows: प्र वो वाजा ...... गातु सुम्नयोँ३ प्र वो वाजा ...... सुम्नयोँ३ प्र वो वाजा ...... सुम्नयो३मग्न आयाहि वीतये ...... सत्सि बर्हिषो३न्तं त्वा ...... यविष्ठयोँ३ स नः ...... सुवीर्योँ ३मीळेन्यो ...... समिधिरिध्यते वृषोँ३ वृषोग्निः ...... ईळतोँ३ वृषणं त्वा ...... बृहद्रो३मग्निं दूतं ...... सुक्रतोँ३ समिध्यमानो ...... मीमहोँ ३ समिद्धो ...... वाहंसो३मा जुहोता...... हव्यवाहना३माजुहोता ...... वाहना३माजुहोता ...... वाहना३मग्ने महानसि &c. 'Om' being added at the end of सुम्नयुः it is to be recited as सुम्नयो३म् and then it is to be continuously joined on to the next verse viz. the same verse repeated twice again, the 3rd सुम्नयो३म् being joined to the verse अग्न आयाहि वीतये Ṛg. VI. 16. 10. As तं त्वा follows बर्हिषो३म् it is to be pronounced like बर्हिषो३न् तं त्वा and वृषो३म् followed by वृषोऽग्निः makes that म् be pronounced like a nasal ँ. The hotṛ is not to stop (*avasāna*) or take breath at the end of verses but at the end of the half verses. At the end of the last 'om' of the last verse the nigada अग्ने महाँ असि ब्राह्मण भारत is to be joined on to it and then the hotṛ stops at the word 'Bhārata'. The Tai. Br. III. 5. 3 has अग्ने महाँ असि ब्राह्मण भारत । असौ असौ । देवेद्धो मन्विद्धः &c.
