When he takes the observance vow at the consecration and Upasad days with 'Svāhā!', thereby his fire-offering is not interrupted during the consecration and Upasads. When they offer one Upāṃśu or Antaryāma \[cup\] after sunrise and the other before sunrise, thereby \[it is preserved\] at the soma pressing. By the rice cake, the full-moon sacrifice \[is preserved\]. By the curd, the new-moon sacrifice. By the curds-and-whey, the four-month seasonal sacrifices. When they seize the animal, thereby the animal sacrifice \[is preserved\]. When he performs the offerings of rice, thereby the ancestral sacrifice. When there are parched grains and barley-pap, thereby the householders' rite. When he brings the Saumya offering, thereby the brahmaudana. When he causes the wives to be counted, thereby mating \[is preserved\]. As to that, some say: 'Let me unite with you through breath,' and: 'Let me breathe toward the groin.' But Śāṭyāyani said: 'This is like the conduct of an unchaste person. Man is one; breath is two. It is through knowledge alone that this is not interrupted, and in that they reckon \[the wives\] during the recitation of the Yajñāyajñīya \[sāman\].' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.38.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.38.p1) tadāhuryadanyairanyaiḥ sāmabhi stuvate'nyā anyā anuśaṃsantyatha kasmātsamānā > They ask on this point: 'When they chant with ever different sāmans and recite after them with ever different \[verses\], why then are the dwellings the same?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.38.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.38.p2) gṛhā iti > 'dwellings,' they say. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.38) · Pramāṇa
