Ūrṇāyu the Gandharva desired the Apsarases. He saw this sāman. With it he praised. By means of it, whomever he desired, saying 'May I go to her,' whomever he touched, to her he went, her he obtained. This is a wish-granting sāman. He desired this desire. That desire was fulfilled for him. With whatever desire one praises with this sāman, that desire is fulfilled for him. Because Ūrṇāyu the Gandharva saw it, therefore it is called the Aurṇāyava. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.76.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.76.p1) aṅrirasa svargakāmāssatramāsata > The Aṅgirases, desiring heaven, sat for a sacrificial session. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.76.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.76.p2) te svargaṃ lokaṃ na prājānan > They did not discern the heavenly world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.76.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.76.p3) sa śvitra āṃgirasassamidvāraḥ parait > Śvitra Āṅgirasa, bearing a firewood-door, went forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.76.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.76.p4) tamūrṇāyurgandharva etena sāmnopariṣṭādabhyavapatyābravītsāma vā idaṃ svargyaṃ > Ūrṇāyu the Gandharva, swooping down from above with this sāman, said to him: 'This sāman leads to heaven.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.76.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.76.p5) tena studhvaṃ | tena stutvaiva svargaṃ lokaṃ prajñāsyatha > 'Praise with it.
