If one is learned in the scriptures but has lost fame, he should eat it. / For the learned in the scriptures are here fit for fame. / He who is learned in the scriptures and becomes stripped of fame—his fame has gone to that world. By this it is brought back again when he eats this dark caru for Soma. / But about this Śāṭyāyani said: 'It should not be eaten at all. Who would fetch fame from there, where he will dwell for more nights?' / Therefore one should not eat it at all. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.168.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168.p1) yajñāyajñā vo agnaye > 'At every sacrifice, to Fire, for you…' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.168.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168.p2) turīyaṃ vā etatsāmnaḥ > This is a fourth part of the sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.168.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168.p3) sāmannevaitadyajñaṃ pratiṣṭhāpayanti > Thereby they establish the sacrifice in the sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.168.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168.p4) tanūrvā eṣā sāmnām > This is the body of the sāmans. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.168) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Jaiminīyaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.jaiminiya.20.p8) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.168) · Pramāṇa
