The Atharvans went upwards, like an eagle, to the heavenly world. They did not establish themselves firmly there. They desired: “May we stand firm in the heavenly world.” They saw this sāman. They praised with it. Thereupon they stood firm in the heavenly world. That \[sāman\] has four nidhanas for firm standing; for they say: “As if with four feet, one stood firmly.” That is well-established, this heavenly sāman of firm standing. He who knows thus goes to the heavenly world, he stands firm in the heavenly world. And that is a healing, an expiation. As it were, they make an Atharvan healing; through this they make a healing and an expiation. It is unthwarted; from the unthwarted indeed offspring and cattle are generated. Unthwarted is the form of this Vairāja day; thereby it is endowed with its proper form. Because the Atharvans saw it, therefore it is called the Ātharvaṇa with four nidhanas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p1) atha nidhanakāmaṃ vairājam > Now the Vairāja \[sāman\] whose nidhana is desire. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p2) evamiva vai virāḍnaiva svāraṃ naiva nidhanavannaivaiḷe vainarksamam > Thus indeed is the virāj: neither having a svāra, nor having a nidhana, nor having an iḷā, nor having an equal verse-quarter. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p3) tadvāṅnidhanaṃ bhavati > Its nidhana is speech. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p4) vāgvai virāḍ | virāja evārambhāya > Speech is the virāj, just for taking hold of the virāj. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p5) virājamevaitena pratyakṣamārabhante > They directly take hold of the virāj by this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p6) tasya haitasya nidhana eva kāmāḥ > Of this very \[sāman\], desires are in the nidhana. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p7) sa yaṃ kāmaṃ kāmayeta taṃ dhyāyed | etasya nidhanamupāvayan > Whatever desire he might desire, he should meditate upon it when weaving into the nidhana of this \[sāman\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p8) sa haivāsmai kāmassamṛdhyate > That desire is fulfilled for him. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p9) yadvasya nidhane kāmāstasmānnidhanakāmaṃ vairājamityākhyāyate > Because desires are in its nidhana, therefore it is called the Vairāja whose nidhana is desire. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p10) devā vai svargakāmāstapo'tapyanta > The gods, desiring heaven, performed asceticism. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p11) ta etatsāmāpaśyan > They saw this sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p12) tenāstuvata > They praised with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p13) tato vai te svargaṃ lokamāśnuvata > Thereupon they attained the heavenly world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [15.66.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66.p14) tadetatsvargyaṃ sāma > This is a heavenly sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.15.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.15.66) · Pramāṇa
