Whatever \[fruit\] one secures by twelve years, that much he secures by just one year who, knowing thus, undertakes the pṛṣṭhas month by month. They undertake these four abhiplavas. Their nights are twenty-four. The year consists of twenty-four half-months. Thus, for them, at the end of the year, month by month, the year is attained. As the fifth \[six-day period\] they undertake the pṛṣṭhya \[six-day period\]. Thus, for them, at the end of the year, month by month, the pṛṣṭhas are undertaken.' Now Mahittha Śainmiṣi used to say: 'That which they call "the unasked-for turban of the unstable, which wraps itself around each family as it shoots up"—that is indeed this unasked-for turban of the unstable, which is the pṛṣṭhya six-day rite when stripped \[of its pṛṣṭhas\]. Why should they heed that, performing only the stomas of the pṛṣṭhya six-day rite? Having undertaken just these five abhiplavas, the pṛṣṭhas should be undertaken only at the end.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.4.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4.p1) ṣcasau vā ādityo'trāgra āsīdyatraitaccātvālam > Yonder Āditya was originally here, where this cātvāla pit is. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.4.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4.p2) sa idaṃ sarvaṃ prātapat > He burned upon all this here. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.4.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4.p3) tasya devāḥ pradāhādabibhayuḥ > The gods feared his conflagration. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.4.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4.p4) te'bruvansarvaṃ vā ayamidaṃ pradhakṣyati > They said: 'He will burn all this completely. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-2.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.4) · Pramāṇa
