Verse is food. The breaths are the dwellings. Indeed, they bring different food for the breaths; therefore they chant with ever different sāmans and recite with ever different \[verses\], while the dwellings are the same.' Breath itself is the sāman; that is the root. Now, just as there are trunks, branches, or leaves of a tree, so are the other sāmans. He who knows this thus, to him all sāmans are known. Speech itself is the verse; that is the root. Now, just as there are trunks, branches, or leaves of a tree, so are the other verses. He who knows this thus, to him all verses are known. Mind itself is the sacrificial formula; that is the root. Now, just as there are trunks, branches, or leaves of a tree, so are the other sacrificial formulas. He who knows this thus, to him all sacrificial formulas are known. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-3.38.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.38.p2) - [Next: 2-3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.40) - [Up: 2-3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.39) · Pramāṇa
