Rh of the Chāndogya Upanishad (v. 24. 4), where it is said of the sacrificial remnant that, if it be offered even to an outcaste, it is as good as if offered to the omnipresent All-soul, provided only it be done with the right knowledge. And a similar idea is perhaps meant to be expressed by our text here, AV. xv. 13. 8, 9.⌋

vrātyādyāḥ sapta paryāyā ekādaça paro bhavet: astāu (i. 1) dvyūnā tatas triṅçad (i. 2) ekādaça paro bhavet (i. 3). dvyūnā tu viṅçatis turyaḥ (i. 4) pañcamaḥ ṣoḍaça smṛtaḥ (i. 5): viṅçatiḥ ṣaṭ ca ṣaṣṭhaç ca (i. 6) saptamaḥ pañcaka ucyate (i. 7).
