For when it spills, then it is established. Milk is semen; this \[earth\] is the womb. He establishes that semen in the womb itself. The poured semen of him who knows thus procreates properly. Parjanya spills from yonder; here plants and trees are born. Semen spills from man, from cattle; from that all this was procreated. He should know: ‘The gods have approached me; my procreation has become greater; I shall become better.’ It will indeed happen so. Moreover, where it broke, there he should pour out a water-pot or a water-jug with these sacred utterances: ‘Bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ, svaḥ.’ These sacred utterances are the all-expiations. Thus with all this he makes the expiation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.53.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.53.p1) athaitāni kapālāni saṃcitya yatrāhavanīyasya bhasmoddhṛtaṃ syāttadupanikiret > Then, having gathered these potsherds, he should scatter them where the ashes of the Āhavanīya have been taken out. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.53.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.53.p2) etadevātra karma > This is the rite in this case. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.53) · Pramāṇa
