He who was that Death was Fire himself. They said: 'Come, let us conquer him!' They said: 'Let us offer a clarified-butter oblation; let us conquer him by it.' 'So be it.' They offered a clarified-butter oblation. He made it his food; he flared up against it. Therefore, wherever they offer a clarified-butter oblation, he flares up. They said: 'Let us offer an animal oblation; let us conquer him by it.' 'So be it.' Having seized the animal and cut off the omentum, they offered the animal oblation. He made it his food; he flared up against it. Therefore, wherever they offer an animal oblation, he flares up. They said: 'Let us offer a milk oblation; let us conquer him by it.' 'So be it.' They offered a milk oblation. By it they conquered him. Therefore, wherever they offer a milk oblation, there are only coals. They said: 'We have conquered him with food; come, let us win an unconquerable victory!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 0.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.11) - [Next: 0.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.13) - [Up: 0](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.0.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.12) · Pramāṇa
