His name is indeed 'Spṛṣṭya'; cryptically they call him 'Pṛṣṭhya'. He touches all desires, who knows thus. That which burns up yonder is 'Abhiplava' (the overflowing one), for he overflows all this. Concerning this they say: Since they say 'the Pṛṣṭhya and Abhiplava', and yet they undertake the Abhiplava first, how is the Pṛṣṭhya undertaken first? He should say: Inasmuch as this lower wind purifies here, and higher is Āditya, therefore \[it is so\]. And that they undertake the Abhiplava, which is higher, as lower, is for the sake of interweaving, for non-omission, for the attainment of a full lifespan. Concerning this they say: Since the Abhiplava has four stomas and the Pṛṣṭhya six, how is that of equal weight? He should say: Inasmuch as these two deities, the wind and Āditya, are alike, therefore it is of equal weight. And also inasmuch as the Abhiplava is the brahman and the Pṛṣṭhya is the kṣatra, therefore also \[it is of equal weight\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p1) tadāhuryadete pṛṣṭhyasya viṣamā stomāstrivṛtpañcadaśassaptadaśa > Concerning this they say: Since these are the unequal stomas of the Pṛṣṭhya—the Trivṛt, the Pañcadaśa, the Saptadaśa, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p2) ekaviṃśastriṇavastrayastriṃśa iti kathametatsamātsamamupetaṃ bhavatīti > the Ekaviṃśa, the Triṇava, the Trayastriṃśa—how is this undertaken equal from equal? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p3) sa brūyādbrahma vai trivṛt > He should say: The Trivṛt is the brahman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p4) kṣatraṃ pañcadaśaḥ > The Pañcadaśa is the kṣatra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p5) brahma vai kṣatrājjyāyaḥ > The brahman is indeed greater than the kṣatra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p6) tena samātsamamupetaṃ bhavati > Therefore it is undertaken equal from equal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p7) viṭsaptadaśaḥ > The Saptadaśa is the common people (viś). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p8) kṣatramu vai viśo jyāyaḥ > And the kṣatra is indeed greater than the common people. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p9) tena samātsamamupetaṃ bhavati > Therefore it is undertaken equal from equal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p10) ekaviṃśaṃ stomamanu śūdraḥ > Following the Ekaviṃśa stoma is the Śūdra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p11) vaiśyo vai śūdrājjyāyān > The Vaiśya is indeed greater than the Śūdra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p12) tena samātsamamupetaṃ bhavati > Therefore it is undertaken equal from equal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p13) triṇavaṃ stomamanu grāmyāḥ paśavaḥ > Following the Triṇava stoma are the domestic animals. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p14) śūdro vai grāmyebhyaḥ paśubhya śreyān > The Śūdra is indeed better than the domestic animals, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p15) attā hi sa teṣām > for he is their consumer. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p16) tena samātsamamupetaṃ bhavati > Therefore it is undertaken equal from equal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p17) trayatriṃśaṃ stomamanvāraṇyāḥ paśavaḥ > Following the Trayastriṃśa stoma are the wild animals. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.31.p18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31.p18) grāmyā vai paśava āraṇyebhyaḥ paśubhya śreyāṃsaḥ > The domestic animals are indeed better than the wild animals. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.31) · Pramāṇa
