Six beings were born of the First that moveth; six Sāman-chants bear on the six-day course. Sixfold the yoking of the plough, with chant on chant: six, they say, are Heaven and Earth—six the broad expanses.
पहले पैदा होने वाले से छह चीज़ों ने जनम लिया। छह गाने छह दिन तक चलते हैं। हल जोड़ने का भी छह तरीका है, हर गाने के साथ। लोग कहते हैं दुनिया और धरती, छह बड़े खुले एरिया हैं।
