They ran a race. Agni's chariot was first, then the Dawn's, then the Aśvins'. Those two Aśvins, being horsemen, outdid \[the others\] with horse after horse in horse-speed. The gods said to the two: 'This choice is yours, but let it be shared with us.' Therefore, they chant on \[verses\] addressed to various deities, but it is called simply 'the Āśvina.' They chant first for Agni, then for the Dawn, then for the two Aśvins; for such are their victories. There is one sāman, two meters: thereby one places the two-footed upon four-footed cattle; therefore the two-footed stands over four-footed cattle. Before the sun rises he should conclude \[the recitation\] for him whom he wishes: 'May he be worse off'; he indeed becomes worse off. When dawn has broken he should conclude for him whom he wishes: 'May he be neither nearer nor farther'; he indeed becomes neither nearer nor farther, but Parjanya rains abundantly. When the sun has risen he should conclude for him whom he wishes: 'May he be better off, may he attain brilliance'; he indeed becomes better off, he attains brilliance. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p1) pāntamā vo andhasaḥ ityandhasvatīrbhavanti > 'The savory drink of your sap'—thus there are verses containing the word 'sap' (andhas). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p2) aharvā andho rātriḥ pāntam > The day is the sap (andhas); the night is the savory drink (pāntam). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p3) ahorātrayoreva saṃtatyā ahorātrayoḥ samārambhāya > For the continuous connection of day and night, for the grasping together of day and night. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p4) tāsvokonidhanaṃ vaitahavyam > On them, there is the Vaitahavya \[sāman\] with the okas-finale (okonidhana). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p5) okonidhanena vai vaitahavyena devā asurānokasa okaso'nudanta > By means of the Vaitahavya with the okas-finale, the gods thrust the Asuras out from home to home (okasa okasaḥ). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.213.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213.p6) okasa okasa eva dviṣantaṃ bhrātṛvyaṃ nudate ya evaṃ veda > He thrusts his hateful rival out from home to home, who knows this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.213) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.213) · Pramāṇa
