For the Vāmadevya is \[effective\]; and that Rājana sāman is manifestly the Vāmadevya. With breath he chants its prelude; with a verse he chants the prelude of the Vāmadevya. With breath he chants the hiṃ sound for this, that breath may be 'hiṃ, hiṃ, hiṃ.' Just as a bird has a resting place, so the Rājana is \[the resting place\] of the Vāmadevya. Prajāpati is the father, Āditya the son; Prajāpati is the Vāmadevya, Āditya the Rājana. Therefore he shines more brightly than these two \[together\], for this brilliance has burst forth from him. It is equipped with eighties; on each stotriyā verse two eighties are accomplished; they amount to fifty eighties. Two eighties are day and night; with these two they feed him; they indeed feed him with these two. Its nidhanas are the pṛṣṭhas themselves. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.15.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15.p1) vāgiti rathantaram > "Speech" is the Rathantara. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.15.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15.p2) iḷeti vairūpam > "Iḷā" is the Vairūpa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.15.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15.p3) tacchakvaryastadrevatayaḥ > That is the Śakvarī verses; that is the Revatī verses. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.15.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15.p4) svariti vairājam > "Heaven" is the Vairāja. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.15.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15.p5) bṛhaditi bṛhat > "The great" is the Bṛhat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.15) · Pramāṇa
