Then indeed Indra slew Vṛtra. He slays his hostile rival who knows thus. He considered: 'If I give it to him by day, the rival world of these \[enemies\] will exceed during the night; if I give it to him at night, the rival world of these \[enemies\] will exceed during the day.' He saw this: just at that time when the sun is unloosed, at that very time he gave it to him. Thereby he excluded the Asuras from both day and night. He excludes his hostile rival from both day and night who knows thus. Just as one might cross over carrying an iron image, so indeed is the Ṣoḍaśin of chants for the attainment of the heavenly world. He attains the heavenly world who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p1) tadāhustrivṛdeva stomaḥ kārya iti > As to this they say: 'The stoma should be made threefold.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p2) sa trivṛdvai vajraḥ > The threefold is indeed the thunderbolt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p3) vajraṣṣoḍaśī > The Ṣoḍaśin is the thunderbolt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p4) atho āhuṣpañcadaśa eva kārya iti > Now they also say: 'It should be made fifteenfold.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p5) pañcadaśo vai vajraḥ > The fifteenfold is indeed the thunderbolt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p6) vajraṣṣoḍaśī > The Ṣoḍaśin is the thunderbolt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p7) atho āhuṣṣoḍaśa eva kārya iti > Now they also say: 'It should be made sixteenfold.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p8) pañcadaśo vai vajraḥ > The fifteenfold is indeed the thunderbolt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.194.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194.p9) indro vajrasyodyantā ṣoḍaśaḥ > Indra is the wielder of the thunderbolt, the sixteenth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.194) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.194) · Pramāṇa
