Preview of English translation:

3. Gayatri verses are the head thereof, Trishtubh verses the body, Jagati verses the spine, and Paṅkti verses the wings; and of each of those Kakubh verses he takes four syllables, and adds them to the Atichandas: that is just (what makes) that Atichandas (excessive metre). The others result in Gayatris: this is just that fourscore of Gayatris, the Brihatis (make up) the Barhata one, and the Ushnihs the Aushniha one. And as to the Vasha hymn, the two half-verses, the Aindragna (hymn), and the insertion, they are Atikhandas; and as to the Nada-verse, the Sudadohas, the pada-appendages, and whatever Anushtubh matter there is, they make up the Anushtubhs.
