S. II. 2. 1., II. 2. 2 (अभ्यास), II. 2. 21 (संख्या), II. 2. 23 (गुण), II. 2 22 (नामधेय or संज्ञा), प्रकरण (or प्रक्रिया) in II. 3 24. Śabara mentions the six in one order, while the P. M S. deals with them in a slightly different order Parāśara I. 38 says that a man should be intent on six actions, viz. bath, sandhyā etc. and relies on śabdāntara to establish that they are six distinct acts and not one composite act Vide परा मा.
