Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The (four) chief priests among all (the sixteen), who are entitled to one half, shall receive a moiety (of the fee), the next (four) one half of that, the set entitled to a third share, one third, and those entitled to a fourth a quarter. 2i i. By the application of these principles the allotment of shares must be made among those men who here (below) perform their work conjointly.
