Ashtavakra began to roar in the assembly. He said, “O Vandi! Answer my questions. I shall answer yours.”
- Vandi Fire is only one which blazes in various forms. One is the Sun that illumines the Universe. One is the hero, Indra, the Lord of the Celestials. One is Yama, the sole Lord of the Pitris (ancestors).
- Ashtavakra The two friends, Agni and Indra move together. The celestial sages are two, Narada and Parvata. The Aswins are two. The wheels of a car are two. Two are the husband and wife, who live together as ordained by the deity.
- Vandi Three kinds of beings are born as the results of their acts. Three are the Vedas that perform the Vajapeya sacrifice. At three different times the Adhvaryus commence sacrifice. Three also are the divine lights.
- Ashtavakra Four are the Ashramas of the Brahmanas; four orders perform sacrifices; four are the cardinal points; four is the number of letters; and four also are the legs of a cow.
- Vandi Five is the number of fires; five are the feet of Punki (a metre); five are the sacrifices; five locks are on the heads of the Apsaras; and five are the sacred rivers in the world.
- Ashtavakra Six cows are given as Dakshina on establishing the sacred fire; six are the seasons that belong to the wheel of time; six stars form the constellation Krittika; and the Vedas say six is the number of Sadyasaka sacrifice.
- Vandi Seven is the number of domestic animals; seven also is the number of wild animals; seven metres are used in completing a sacrifice; seven are the Rishis; seven are the forms of paying homage; and seven are the strings of the Vina.
- Ashtavakra Eight are the bags that hold hundredfold; eight is the number of the Sarabha, which preys upon lions; eight are the Vasus amongst the celestials; and eight are the angles of a Yupa (stake) in a sacrifice. Vandi Nine is the number of the Mantras used in kindling the fire in a sacrifice to the Pitris; nine are the fixed functions in the progress of creation; nine letters compose the foot of Vrihati (a metre); and nine also are numbers in calculation.
- Ashtavakra Ten is the number of the cardinal points; ten times hundred makes a thousand; ten is the number of months of woman’s conception; ten are the teachers of true knowledge; ten are the haters of knowledge; and ten are capable of attaining it.
- Vandi Eleven are the objects of enjoyment; eleven is the number of Yupas (sacrificial stake); eleven are the natural states of all living creatures; eleven are the Rudras among the celestials in heaven.
- Ashtavakra Twelve are the months in a year; twelve letters compose a foot of Fajati (a metre); twelve are the sacrifices; and twelve is the number of the Adityas.
- Vandi Thirteen lunar days are most auspicious; and thirteen islands exist on earth. Having said this Vandi stopped. Thereupon Ashtavakra completed the other half of the Sloka. Ashtavakra Thirteen sacrifices are presided over by Keshi and thirteen are devoured by Atichandas of the Vedas.
