They praised with it. Becoming large, it carried them to the heavenly world. Having gone to the heavenly world, they said by means of it, "Great indeed has this pleasure of ours become, by which we have reached the heavenly world!" That is the bṛhatka nature of the Bṛhatka sāman. This sāman brings heaven. Great pleasure comes to him; he attains the heavenly world who knows thus. "Soma, purifying himself with his wave, runs through the sheep's fleece, roaring, the purifying one at the head of speech": thus it becomes the head, as it were. For this day is the head, being connected with the Bṛhat. "With prayers they cleanse the steed": they indeed cleanse what is born, as it were. And it is born by means of this day. "The bountiful courser, eager for prize, was sent forth toward the jar; purifying himself, generating speech, he flowed": thus these verses have \[the word\] "generating". They generate the Ṣoḍaśin from the third pressing; from pressing to pressing they indeed generate the Ṣoḍaśin. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p1) tāsvātīṣādīyam > Upon these \[verses\] is the Ātīṣādīya sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p2) prajāpatiḥ prajā asṛjata > Prajāpati created creatures. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p3) tā asya sṛṣṭā atāmyan > Having been created, they fainted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p4) so'kāmayata na ma imāḥ prajāstāmyeyuriti > He desired, "May these creatures of mine not faint." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p5) sa etatsāmāpaśyat > He saw this sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p6) tenainā abhyamṛśat > With it he touched them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p7) tāssamānan > They breathed together. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p8) preva mīyante caturthenāhnānuṣṭubhaṃ hi gacchanti > Creatures perish, as it were, through the fourth day, for they go to the Anuṣṭubh. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p9) anuṣṭubvai parā > The Anuṣṭubh is indeed far away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p10) parāvatsamevaitenānanti > By this they breathe together with what is far away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [17.78.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78.p11) tasmādu haitasya sāmna ātamitornidhanamupeyātsarvasyāyuṣo'varuddhyai > Therefore, one should approach the finale of this sāman while holding the breath, to secure the full lifespan. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.17.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Kauthuma (Svādhyāya Maṇḍala edition, Pāraḍī)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.sama*kauthuma*satavalekar.11.5-4.1) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.17.78) · Pramāṇa
