'O rock-bearer, being praised as great'—that is the form of an elephant; therefore they mount it from the side. These indeed turn into great forms; Prajāpati is indeed of great form. The Mahāvrata belongs to Prajāpati; each \[stotra\] is made with that characteristic. These forms wait unbought upon him who knows thus. 'This devotion of mine to you two' is the indrāgni \[stotra\]. 'Indra and Agni, the ancient praise was born like rain from a cloud'—by 'was born' they mean 'produced.' And he is born through this day. Just as here \[young birds\] would break out of an egg, so indeed they break out of this day. 'Hear the call of the singer, O Indra and Agni; accept his words, O ye who are capable, nourish our thoughts! Let us not come to evil, O heroes Indra and Agni, nor to reproach; do not deliver us to censure!'—thus this is the warding off of evil. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.12.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.12.p1) uccā te jātamandhaseti mādhyaṃdinasya pavamānasyāndhasvatīrgāyatryo bhavanti prājāpatyāḥ prājāpatye'haṃstattatsalakṣma kriyate > 'Upward is your juice born'—the verses with the word 'andhas' of the midday pavamāna are gāyatrīs.
