एका- One, तिस्रः- three, पञ्च- five, सप्त- seven, नव- nine, एकादश- eleven, त्रयोदश- thirteen, पञ्चदश- fifteen, सप्तदश- seventeen, नवदश- nineteen, एकविंशतिः- twentyone, त्रयोविंशतिः- twentythree, पञ्चविंशतिः- twentyfive, सप्तविंशतिः- twentyseven, नवविंशतिः- twentynine, एकत्रिंशत्- thirtyone, त्रयस्त्रिंशत्- thirtythree, चतस्रः- four, अष्टौ- eight, द्वादश- twelve, षोडश- sixteen, विंशतिः- twenty, चतुर्विंशतिः- twentyfour, अष्टाविंशतिः- twentyeight, द्वात्रिंशत्- thirtytwo, षट् त्रिंशत्- thirtysix, चत्वारिंशत्- forty, चतुश्चत्वारिंशत्- fortyfour, अष्टाचत्वारिंशत्- fortyeight. The prayer is that all these numbers be favourable to me.
By the odd numbers from 1 to 33, Chandas liked by Devas are attained. By the even numbers from 4 to 48, Chandas liked by humans are attained. In order to get the love of Devas as well as humans, odd numbers and even numbers are both mentioned here.
वाजः- Food, प्रसवः- its production, अपिजः- its frequent production, क्रतुः- the resolve to enjoy it, or, yaga, सुवः- Surya, the cause of food production, मूर्धा- sky, व्यश्नियः- born in sky, अन्त्यः- born at the end, भौवनः- born in the world, भुवनः- world, अधिपतिः- king. (All this should be very favourable to me).
Alternatively, the twelve words from वाजः to अधिपतिः may be taken to mean the names of the twelve months from ‘Chaitra’ to ‘Phalguna’. In that case, the idea is that those twelve months may do me good.
