Bṛhaspaṭi Said:: (Partially defective text). One shall establish those pits with sides of four Aṅgulas on the Amāvāsyā (new moon) day. The Yajñas should be twenty-one in number. Then the three worlds can be held by them (?). The performer shall attain nourishment, prosperity, longevity and perpetuation of his line. He shines brilliantly on account of his glory and he gradually attains salvation. A worship carried out by the Brāhmaṇas after due consecration removes sins. It is holy and sanctifying. It yields the fruit akin to that of a horse-sacrifice. The performer shall obtain the benefit of a horse-sacrifice.
