"This now is your further sacrifice," they indeed say to Indra. For this second sacrificial offering is made which is the night. On these \[verses is\] the Aurdhvasadmana. By the Aurdhvasadmana the gods sat upright in these worlds. Because they sat upright in these worlds, that is the Aurdhvasadmana's nature as Aurdhvasadmana. This is a heavenly-world-reaching sāman. Whoever knows thus sits upright in the heavenly world. By the Aurdhvasadmana the gods wrested the cattle of the Asuras with "suvṛktibhiḥ" ("with praises"); with "nṛmādanam" ("the exhilarator of men") they hurled the thunderbolt; with "bhareṣvā" ("in battles") they ascended to the heavenly world. By the Aurdhvasadmana indeed he wrests the cattle of his hateful rival with "suvṛktibhiḥ"; he hurls the thunderbolt with "nṛmādanam"; he ascends to the heavenly world with "bhareṣvā". They say: "They are to be approached separately. For these worlds are separate, as it were—for the support of these worlds." This world is "suvṛktibhiḥ"; the intermediate space is "nṛmādanam"; yonder world is "bhareṣvā". Therefore, they are to be approached separately, for the support of these worlds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.217](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.217) - [Next: 1.219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.219) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.218) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.218) · Pramāṇa
