They would shake it, they would disjoin it, if they approached them separately. They should be approached together, for the vital power of the sāman." They have four syllables: "May we stand firmly in all the four quarters in this world; may we stand firmly in all the four quarters in the intermediate space; may we stand firmly in all the four quarters in yonder world." By the Aurdhvasadmana the night is provided with pṛṣṭhas: this \[earth\] is the Rathantara, the intermediate space is the Vāmadevya, yonder \[sky\] is the Bṛhat. And those who are the foremost of these worlds, they are the pṛṣṭhas. Whoever knows thus becomes one of them. The Ūrdhvasama is indeed procreation. Whoever knows thus attains Prajāpati's state. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.219.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.219.p1) ā tū na indra kṣumantamiti vaiṇavam | veṇurvai vaiśvāmitro'kāmayatāgryo > "Come hither to us, O Indra, with wealth..."—\[on this verse is\] the Vaiṇava.
