BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 3.1.7

याज्ञवल्क्येति होवाच -- कतिभिर् अयम् अद्यर्ग्भिर् होतास्मिन् यज्ञे करिष्यतीति ।
तिसृभिर् इति ।
कतमास् तास् तिस्र इति ।
पुरोनुवाक्या च याज्या च शस्यैव तृतीया ।
किं ताभिर् जयतीति ।
यत् किञ्चेदं प्राणभृद् इति ॥

yājñavalkyeti hovāca -- katibhir ayam adyargbhir hotāsmin yajñe kariṣyatīti ।
tisṛbhir iti ।
katamās tās tisra iti ।
puronuvākyā ca yājyā ca śasyaiva tṛtīyā ।
kiṃ tābhir jayatīti ।
yat kiñcedaṃ prāṇabhṛd iti ॥

'Yâgñavalkya,' he said, 'how many Rik verses will the Hotri priest employ to-day at this sacrifice?' 'Three,' replied Yâgñavalkya. 'And what are these three?' 'Those which are called Puronuvâkyâ, Yâgyâ, and, thirdly, Sasyâ.' 'What does he gain by them?' 'All whatsoever has breath.'
