[Advaita-l] shaT karmas - count ?

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste,
 
Need some clarification on the count of shaT karmAs.  The following sloka
details out the karmas to be done by brahmins and the number is 6 (shaTkarmANi
dinE dinE) (vide 36th sloka from parashara smriti).
 
sandhyA snAnaM japO hOmO dEvatAtithipUjanaM
AtithyaM vaishwadEvaM cha shaTkarmANi dinE dinE .....36
 
The no. of karma prescribed in the sloka is 7 whereas it is said as
"shaT karmANi" (6).  
 
1. sandhya
2. snAnaM
3. japa
4. hOma
5. dEvata pUjana
6. atithi pUjana
7. vaishwadEva
 
The above comes to 7 but how come it is said "shaTkarmANi dinE dinE" ?
 
Any thoughts ?
 
regs,
sriram
