X KÂNDA, 2 ADHYAYA, 5 BRAHMANA, 14. 319
10. One month the second (layer of bricks takes), and one month the layer of earth,- -so long desire (lasts) in the summer season: he thus builds for himself a body so as to obtain all of whatever desire there is in the summer season.
II. One month the third (layer of bricks takes), and one month the layer of earth,-so long desire (lasts) in the rainy season: he thus builds for himself a body so as to obtain all of whatever desire there is in the rainy reason.
12. One month the fourth (layer of bricks takes), and one month the layer of earth,— -so long desire (lasts) in the autumn season: he thus builds for himself a body so as to obtain all of whatever desire there is in the autumn season.
13. And of the fifth layer (of bricks) he lays down the Asapatnâ and Virâg (bricks) on the first day, and of the Stomabhâgâs one each day: these he 'settles' together once, and pronounces once the sûdadohas-formula over them 1. For a month they silently apply the earth-layer for the Stomabhâgâs, for so long desire (lasts) in the winter season: thus he builds for himself a body so as to obtain all of whatever desire there is in the winter season.
14. One month the sixth (layer of bricks takes),
much desire as there is in the spring season-he builds for himself a body so as to obtain all that (desire). Only the building of an altar (body) for a whole year ensures the full fruition of sensual pleasures supplied during the year.
That is, these three kinds of bricks-the five Asapatnâs, and forty Virâgs being laid down on the first day, and of the twenty-nine Stomabhâgâs one each day,-the three kinds of bricks thus take one month in being laid down, after which the 'sâdanam' and 'Sûdadohas' (cf. part iii, p. 301, note 3) are performed upon
them.
