horse of the Kasya (king); and since that time the Kasis do not keep up the (sacrificial) fires, saying, 'The Soma-drink has been taken from us.'
20. The mode (of chanting) for this (Govinata form) is :--the Pavamâna (stotras) in the Katurvimsa (stoma), and (those chanted) by repetitions in the Trivrit ;—the Pavamânas in the Katuskatvårimsa, the Agya (stotras) in the Ekavimsa, the Ukthas ' in the Trinava, the Prishthas in the Ekavimsa ;-the Pavamânas in the Shattrimsa (36-versed), and (those chanted) by repetitions in the Trayastrimsa (33) up to the Agnishtoma-saman, the Ukthas in the Ekavimsa, the Shodasin in the Ekavimsa, the night (stotras) in the Pankadasa, and the Sandhi (stotra) in the Trivrit.

23. And a fourth 8, – The greatness of the Bharatas neither the men before nor those after them attained, nor did the seven (tribes of) men, even as a mortal man (does not touch) the sky with his flanks.'
1 Why these are here put before the Prishthas, is not clear. • Perhaps we ought here to read Sätragita.'
• Unless the Gåtha in the preceding paragraph (being in the Trish/ubh metre) is really counted as two, the author seems here purposely to have omitted a verse. Possibly, however, it may mean, the fourth,' viz. referring to paragraph 14. (44)
