It is twenty-five-fold. Of that, the twenty are the virāj; then the four are these four quarters; then the twenty-fifth is this upward quarter. Where the quarters rose together, there arose this world named Atyagra, which shines yonder. By this twenty-fifth \[stoma\] they ascend to this very \[world\]; they attain fellowship in the world with it. Regarding this they say: 'Since by this day—by the Mahāvrata—they desire to obtain the most, why then is this restraining twenty-five-fold stoma performed?' One should reply: 'For the obtaining of all food.' With five stoma verses he obtains man, with five cattle, with five the horse, with five the goat, with five the sheep. Thus this twenty-five-fold stoma is performed at the end for the obtaining of all food. Now, as for the two Atirātras, they are the firm support. Having found firm support in this world through the introductory Atirātra, they set out; having found firm support in that world through the concluding Atirātra, they rise up. They become, as it were, flourishing; they stand firm. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p1) athaiṣaudumbarī rājāsandī > Now, there is this royal throne of udumbara wood. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p2) tāṃ haike prācīmeva nidadhati > Some set it down facing east. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p3) udīcīmeva nidadhyāt > One should set it down facing north. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p4) tasyā imāvavāntaradeśau pūrvau pādāvimāvaparāu > Its two intermediate corners are the front legs, these two the hind \[legs\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p5) tāṃ haike prācīmevādhirohanti > Some mount it facing east. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p6) tadu hovāca śāṭyāyanirudañco vai sāmārtvijyaṃ kurvanti > Regarding this, Śāṭyāyani said: 'Facing north they perform the priestly service of the sāman;' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p7) udīcinadevatyā udgātāraḥ > 'the Udgātṛs have the north as their deity;' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.44.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44.p8) udīcyaivāruhyeti > 'it is facing north that one should mount it.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.44) · Pramāṇa
