The gods desired: 'May we conquer these worlds; \[may we conquer\] the Asuras, the rival cousins.' They saw these Ājya stotras. They praised with them. With them they conquered these \[worlds\]. They conquered this very world with the Agni-related \[stotra\], the intermediate space with the Mitra-Varuṇa-related, that \[heavenly world\] with the Indra-related, and the directions with the Indra-Agni-related. That they conquered (ā-jayan) these worlds, that is the nature of the Ājya stotras (ājyatva). He conquers these worlds and the rival, hating cousin, who knows thus. Those gods said: 'Let us divide these.' They could not agree upon their division. They said: 'Let us run a race for them, making the mountain the goal.' That they said, 'Let us run a race (ājim ayāma),' that is their second nature of Ājya (ājyatva). And that they made the mountain the goal (kāṣṭhā), therefore that mountain is named 'goal' (kāṣṭha). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.105.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105.p1) teṣāṃ paccho'sṛjyanta > They were dispatched on foot. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.105.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105.p2) teṣāmagniḥ prathama udajayat > Among them, Agni won first. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.105.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105.p3) atha mitrāvaruṇāvathendraḥ > Then Mitra and Varuṇa; then Indra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.105.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105.p4) athaikamanujjitamāsīt > Then there was one \[share\] unconquered. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.105.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105.p5) tadindro'vedagnirvāvedamujjeṣyatīti > Indra knew: 'Agni indeed will conquer this.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.105) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.105) · Pramāṇa
