संदर्भ:Context: Laying the ishtakas (bricks) named after the stomas (chant patterns) in the agnichayana (fire-altar building)

The swift one is the threefold [stoma, of nine verses]; the shining one, the fifteenfold; the sky, the seventeenfold; onward speed, the eighteenfold; heat (tapas), the nineteenfold; the turning-toward, the twentyfold; the support, the twenty-onefold; splendour, the twenty-twofold; the gathering, the twenty-threefold; the womb, the twenty-fourfold; the embryos, the twenty-fivefold; might, the twenty-sevenfold; resolve (kratu), the thirty-onefold; the firm base, the thirty-threefold; the summit of the ruddy one (the sun), the thirty-fourfold; the vault of heaven, the thirty-sixfold; the turning-about, the forty-eightfold; the upholder, the fourfold stoma.

टिप्पणी:Note: Each pair links a name to a stoma (a count of chanted verses: trivṛt = 9, pañcadaśa = 15, and so on); triṇava = 27, and catuṣṭoma means 'having four stomas'. Tradition takes these as the formulas for stoma-named bricks laid in the fourth layer of the agnicayana fire altar (usually the akṣṇayāstomīyā bricks), based on the Brahmana section at TS 5.3; that identification is not stated in the passage itself. Words like bhānta, pratūrti, abhivarta and vivarta are rendered from their etymology and are not precise. Bradhna is usually taken as the sun. The closing 'āśus sapta triṃśat' is an index marker for the anuvāka (its first word and a word count), not part of the formula.
