I worshipped the celestials in a sacrifice that is completed in eleven days. Twice I worshipped them in sacrifices that are completed in twelve days. I worshipped ther, also many a time in the Horsesacrifices. I performed the Arkayana sacrifice sixteen times, it is not through the merits of those deeds that I have acquired this region.
