One more relating the number to the संकल्प in general for any Vedic rite, whether Grihya, Shrauta, or Smarta karma, in general, and also used as general blessings by Purohits:

शुभे शोभने मुहूर्ते आद्यब्रह्मणः द्वितीयपरार्धे

श्वेत वराहकल्पे वैवस्वत मन्वंतरे कलियुगे

प्रथमपादे जंबू द्वीपे भारतवर्षे भरतखण्डे

अस्मिन् वर्तमाने व्यवहारिक ------नामेन संवत्सरे

------अयने ------ऋतौ ------मासे

------पक्षे अस्यां ------वासरौ शुभनक्षत्र

शुभयोग शुभकरण एवंगुण विशेषण विशिष्टायां

शुभतिथौ श्री परमेश्वर प्रीत्यर्थं मम क्षेमस्थैर्य

विजयायुरारोग्यैश्वर्यापि वृद्ध्यर्थं धर्मार्थ

काममोक्ष चतुर्विध फलपुरुषार्थ सिद्ध्यर्थं

इष्ट काम्यार्थ सिद्ध्यर्थं मम समस्त दुरितोप

शान्त्यर्थं समस्त मङ्गळ वाप्त्यर्थं वर्षे वर्षे

प्रयुक्त श्री केदारेश्वर देवतामुक्तिस्य श्री

केदारेश्वर देवता प्रीत्यर्थं संभविता नियमेन

संभविता प्रकारेण संभवत्भि द्रव्यैः संभवत्भि

रुपचारैश्च कल्पोक्त प्रकरणे यावच्चक्त्य

ध्यानावाहनादि षोडचोपचार पूजां करिष्ये।
