His wife is hard to take away. Come, let us give this \[seat\] to him." They gave it to him. She said, "They want to slay you, as it were, behind your back again. Do not sit upon it." They departed. They placed a golden chair for him in the shade. Careless, he sat down upon it. Becoming a rock right there, it enclosed him. The two sons, Triśoka and Nabhāka, noticed that: "The Asuras have indeed enclosed our father with a rock!" The two came. Nabhāka desired, "May I outwit them." He saw this Nābhāka hymn. With it he praised her. He became visible in it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [16.73.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.16.73.p1) yathā maṇau maṇisūtraṃ paridṛśyetaivam > just as the thread of a jewel might be seen in a jewel; so it was. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [16.73.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.16.73.p2) athākāmayata triśoko vyenāmasyeyamiti > Then Triśoka desired: 'May I split it apart.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [16.73.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.16.73.p3) sa etatsāmāpaśyat > He saw this sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.16.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.16.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.16.73) · Pramāṇa
