षडाधाने दक्षिणाम आहुर एके; षड एवेमे ऋतवः कालचक्रम षड इन्द्रियाण्य उत षट कृत्तिकाश च; षट साद्यस्काः सर्ववेदेषु दुष्टाः ॥ ३-१३४-१२ ॥
'Ashtavakra said, "Six cows, some assert, are given as a gift when the sacred fire is kindled; six are the seasons that comprise the cycle of time; six is the number of the senses; six stars make up the Krittika constellation; and in all the Vedas, six is the number associated with the Sadyaska sacrifice."' ॥ 3-134-12 ॥
