He who should desire, 'May peaceful offspring thrive,' should not sing differently the \[strophic\] yokes (dhuras). But \[if he did not\], he would make the sacrificer's sacrifice headless, and he would accept the sacrificial gifts falsely. For the sacrificer gives sacrificial gifts thinking, 'He will perform the sacred work (brahman).' He should wish to act in such a way that he neither makes the sacrificer's sacrifice headless nor accepts the sacrificial gifts falsely. He should indeed sing differently. But whoever, wishing to sing them differently, is unable to sing them differently, meets with misfortune. If he is unable to sing the seed-verse differently, he becomes devoid of seed himself, and seedless embryos are born. If he is unable to sing the Gāyatrī differently, he becomes prone to death himself, and dead embryos are born. If he is unable to sing the Triṣṭubh differently, he becomes blind himself, and blind embryos are born. If he is unable to sing the Jagatī differently, he becomes deaf himself, and deaf embryos are born. If he is unable to sing the Anuṣṭubh differently, he becomes tongueless himself, and tongueless embryos are born. If he is unable to sing the Paṅkti differently, the seasons become disordered. Therefore, one who would not venture to sing them differently should sing them indirectly with their characteristic form. But the seed-verse is indeed sung in both ways. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p1) gāyatryāṃ prastutāyāṃ gāyatrameva gāyanpṛthivīṃ manasā gacchet > When the Gāyatrī is introduced with the prastāva, singing just the Gāyatra \[sāman\], he should mentally reach the earth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p2) prāṇyāpānyānyāt > He should inhale and exhale. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p3) saditi nidhanaṃ karoti > He makes the cadence: 'sat'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p4) parokṣeṇaivaināṃstadrūpeṇa gāyati > Thus he sings them indirectly with their characteristic form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p5) triṣṭubhi prastutāyāṃ gāyatrameva gāyannantarikṣaṃ manasā gacchet > When the Triṣṭubh is introduced with the prastāva, singing just the Gāyatra \[sāman\], he should mentally reach the intermediate space. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p6) didṛkṣetaivākṣibhyām > He should deliberately look with both eyes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p7) jyotiḥ iti nidhanaṃ karoti > He makes the cadence: 'jyotis'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p8) parokṣeṇaivaināṃstadrūpeṇa gāyati > Thus he sings them indirectly with their characteristic form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p9) jagatyāṃ prastutāyāṃ gāyatrameva gāyandiśaḥ paśūnmanasā gacchet > When the Jagatī is introduced with the prastāva, singing just the Gāyatra \[sāman\], he should mentally reach the directions and cattle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p10) śuśrūṣetaiva karṇābhyām > He should deliberately listen with both ears. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p11) iḷā iti nidhanaṃ karoti > He makes the cadence: 'iḷā'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p12) parokṣeṇaivaināṃstadrūpeṇa gāyati > Thus he sings them indirectly with their characteristic form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.103.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103.p13) anuṣṭubhi prastutāyāṃ gāyatrameva gāyandivaṃ manasā gacchet > When the Anuṣṭubh is introduced with the prastāva, singing just the Gāyatra \[sāman\], he should mentally reach heaven. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.103) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.103) · Pramāṇa
