Commentary

In a sacrificial work, the first syllable of 1. ब्रूहि 2. प्रेष्य 3. श्रौषट् and 4.आवह is प्लुत।
Thus अग्नयेऽनुब्रू꣡३हि (Maitr Samhita I.4. II), अग्नये गोमयानि (or म्) प्रे꣡ ३ष्य, अस्तु श्रौ꣡ ३षट्; सोमस्याग्ने वीही ३ वौ꣡ ३षट्, अग्निमा꣡ ३वह ॥

So also in पित्र्यायामनुस्व३धाon the analogy of ब्रूहि, so also अस्तुस्व३धा ॥ The word वौषट् is illustrative of the six forms वषट्, वौषट्, वौक्षट्, वाक्षट्, वामद, वक्षाट् ॥

But there is no prolation in आवह देवान् यजमानाय; आवह जात वेदः ॥
