It consists of seven feet. Seven, indeed, are the meters. The aticchandas meter overcomes all meters; thus all meters are attained for him. Regarding this, they say: 'The Vāmadevya \[sāman\] should be made with five conclusions. The Ārbhava-pavamāna has five meters and seven sāmans. When there are five conclusions, thereby it extends over the meters; and when it has seven feet, thereby it extends over the sāmans.' But regarding this they also say: 'The Gāyatrapārśva alone should be made. The svara itself is that conclusion. The self is the svara; the offspring is the conclusion. That alone is more abundant, namely the Gāyatrapārśva. Therefore the Gāyatrapārśva alone should be made.' Those verses amount to twenty-four strophic verses. The year has twenty-four half-months. The year is generation. \[He thinks:\] 'May he who is generation generate me.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.127.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.127.p1) athaiṣa bṛhaspatisavaḥ > Now this is the Bṛhaspatisava. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.127.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.127.p2) prajāpatiḥ prajāssasṛjānassa vyasraṃsata > Prajāpati, having created offspring, fell apart. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.127.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.127.p3) so'nnaṃ bhūto'śayat > Having become food, he lay \[there\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.127.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.127.p4) tasya sarve devā mamatvina āsanmama mameti > All the gods claimed ownership of him, \[saying,\] 'Mine!
