By means of dharma the gods became the law; by means of vidharma they struck away the lawless. In this \[rite\], both these kinds of meters are used: two-footed meters and over-meters, the greatest and the shortest meters. Cattle are meters. Therefore, both kinds of cattle attend upon the prosperous man, the greatest and the shortest. Both kinds of cattle attend upon him, the greatest and the shortest, who knows thus. The sacrificial gift for it is a horse-drawn chariot yoked with four. All horses are worth a hundred \[cows\]. He \[the charioteer\] has a golden breastplate, a trembling garment, all ornaments, and is radiant. His chariot-casing is of tiger-skin; his quiver of panther-skin; his bow-case of bear-skin. The warrior on the chariot has armor made of rhinoceros-hide, being girded; his charioteer is girded; he is covered by two guards. The charioteer wears a necklet and a garland. This is the form of brilliance, this of honor. At it, he gives this honored wealth, thinking: 'Being honored, let me give honored wealth.' They enrich the stoma with that form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p1) athaitāvabhibhūśca vinuttiśca > Now there are these two \[rites\]: the Abhibhū ('Overcoming') and the Vinutti ('Expulsion'). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p2) devāsurā aspardhanta > The gods and the Asuras contended. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p3) te devā akāmayantābhīmānasurānbhavemeti > The gods desired: 'May we overcome these Asuras.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p4) ta etatabhibhuvaṃ yajñamapaśyan > They saw this sacrifice, the Abhibhū. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p5) tamāharan > They grasped it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p6) tenāyajanta > They sacrificed with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p7) tenāsurānabhyabhavan > With it they overcame the Asuras. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.103.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103.p8) yadabhyabhavaṃstadabhibhuvo'bhibhūtvam > In that they overcame \[them\], that is the overcoming quality of the Abhibhū. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.103) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Āpastambaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.apastamba.22.12.6.a) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.103) · Pramāṇa
