According to the limbs they distribute the other limbs. Then they cover him with a hide: ‘Unite with your own body!’ Spreading out \[the fuel\], they set \[the fires\] alight. He should desire \[it\] in such a way that the Āhavanīya fire should reach him first. Thereby the world of the gods comes to meet him. Then, as the Anvāhāryapacana \[reaches him\], thereby the world of the fathers comes to meet him. Then, as the Gārhapatya \[reaches him\], he stands firm in this world with offspring and cattle. Smoke shakes the body of him when he is set alight. Because it shakes (dhunoti), therefore it is ‘shaker’ (dhuna). Indeed, ‘Shaker’ is his name. Indirectly they call him ‘smoke’ (dhūma), purely indirectly; for the gods love the indirect. From the smoke he goes to the night, from the night to the day, from the day to the waning half-month, from the waning half-month to the waxing half-month, from the waxing half-month to the month. In that month his body and his life-breath come together. One of the seasons, who is club-handed, descending with a ray, asks him: ‘Who are you, O man?’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p1) taṃ pratibrūyāt > He should reply to him: > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p2) vicakṣaṇādṛtavo reta ābhṛtam > ‘From the Far-seeing one, O seasons, the semen has been brought, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p3) ardhamāsyaṃ prasutātpitryāvataḥ > belonging to the half-month, born from the father-accompanied \[Soma\]’— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p4) iti ### [1.49.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p5) yadado vicakṣaṇaṃ somaṃ rājānaṃ juhvati tattat > When they sacrifice King Soma yonder, the far-seeing, that is it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p6) taṃ mā puṃsi kartaryerayadhvam > ‘Send me into the active male’— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p7) iti ### [1.49.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p8) puṃsi hyenametatkartaryerayante > For they send him into the active male. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p9) puṃsaḥ karturmātaryāsiṣikta > ‘Pour \[me\] from the active male into the mother’— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p10) iti ### [1.49.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p11) mātari hyenamāsiñcati > For he pours him into the mother. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.49.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49.p12) sa upajāyopajāyamānastrayodaśena dvādaśopamāsaḥ > ‘He, being born again and again, with the thirteenth \[is\] the twelve-month year’— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.49) · Pramāṇa
