Thereby they secure speech in front. If they were to sit down in front, facing east, they would put speech behind them; speech would be liable to fail them. Speech indeed departed from the gods; she entered the trees. It is she who is in the axle. When they push the wooden trough underneath the axle, he thereby secures divine speech. The Udgātṛs push the wooden trough underneath the axle for the udgītha. He who knows thus cuts off his spiteful rival from this world. He should not touch the axle. If he were to touch the axle, he would confer prosperity upon his rival. He pushes it between the two wheels. Therefore, what is between the two wheels of a cart is the most sustaining of life. Therefore, yoked between the two yoke-pins, \[the draft-animal\] eats. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p1) vasavo vā etamagre prauhan > The Vasus, indeed, pushed this forward in the beginning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p2) te'śrāmyan > They became exhausted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p3) te rudrānāhvayan > They called the Rudras. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p4) taṃ rudrāḥ prauhan > The Rudras pushed it forward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p5) te'śrāmyan > They became exhausted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p6) ta ādityānāhvayan > They called the Ādityas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p7) tamādityāḥ prauhan > The Ādityas pushed it forward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p8) taṃ prohati vasavastvā prohantu gāyatreṇa chandasā > He pushes it forward with: ‘May the Vasus push you forward with the gāyatra meter!’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p9) rudrāstvā prohantu traiṣṭubhena chandasā > ‘May the Rudras push you forward with the traiṣṭubha meter!’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p10) ādityāstvā prohantu jāgatena chandasā iti > ‘May the Ādityas push you forward with the jāgata meter!’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p11) devatānāmevainaṃ tatprauḍhimanuprohati > He pushes it forward in accordance with the pushing-forward by the deities. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p12) devasya tvā savituḥ prasave'śvinorbāhubhyāṃ pūṣṇo hastābhyāṃ prohāmi iti vā > Or he should push it forward with: ‘At the impulse of the divine Savitṛ, with the arms of the Aśvins, with the hands of Pūṣan, I push you forward!’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.77.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77.p13) prohet > \[Thus\] he should push it forward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.1.77) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.77) · Pramāṇa
