They placed the Svarasāman days below him. He looked forth upon that further world; he pierced through it too with strings. They placed the Svarasāman days beyond him. They rescued him there; because they rescued (aspṛṇvan) him, that is the essence of the Svarasāman days (svaratva). The Svarasāmans are seventeen-fold. Food is indeed seventeenth. They placed him upon food then. Moreover, Prajāpati is seventeen-fold. Through Prajāpati they placed him upon food then. He burns, established upon the primordial food. These Svarasāmans amount to fifty-one Virājes of thirty-six syllables each: twenty-five below, twenty-five beyond. Now, having arranged himself in the middle of the fifty-first, he burns, placed upon it. There is neither heat nor cold, he hungers not, he thirsts not, and there is no return for him. He who knows thus does not hunger, does not thirst, and for him there is no return. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p1) ṣcsa yathā sarpiṣaḥ kumbhaṃ vā madhukumbhaṃ vā jālodditāśayaṃ hriyerannevamevaiṣa > Just as a jar of clarified butter or a jar of honey would be carried, hanging in a net, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p2) etābhirvirāḍbhiḥ parigṛhītaḥ > so is he held on all sides by these Virājes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p3) prāñca pratyañca yata etābhirdhṛtaḥ > proceeding forward and backward, held by these. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p4) tānvā etāneke svarasāmno'gniṣṭomāneva kurvanti stotrabṛhatīmidaṃ kurma iti > Now, some make these Svarasāman days into Agniṣṭomas, saying, 'We are making this a bṛhatī of chants.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p5) vadantaḥ > So saying \[they do so\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p6) ye vai trayo'gniṣṭomāṣṣaṭtriṃśattāni stotrāṇi > Those three Agniṣṭomas are thirty-six chants. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p7) dvādaśaikasya dvādaśaikasya dvādaśaikasya tatṣaṭtriṃśat > Twelve of one, twelve of one, twelve of one: that is thirty-six. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p8) ṣaṭtriṃśadakṣarā vai bṛhatī > The bṛhatī indeed consists of thirty-six syllables. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p9) bṛhatī svargo lokaḥ > The bṛhatī is the heavenly world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p10) saitaṃ spṛśati > It touches this \[world\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-2.6.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6.p11) te bṛhatyaitaṃ svargaṃ lokaṃ gacchāmeti > \[They say:\] 'By the bṛhatī let us go to that heavenly world.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-2.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-2.6) · Pramāṇa
