Some mount it silently, \[thinking:\] 'Mind is Prajāpati; this day belongs to Prajāpati.' He should mount it first with this \[foot\], then with this, then with this, then with this, \[thinking:\] 'May I attain immortality.' Then for him who has mounted they bring the vāṇa of a hundred strings. He tunes it with this continuity-formula: 'Bhūr bhuvas svar! Speak, speak, speak, speak, speak, wide one! Broad, easy to tread, easy to traverse! Doing, deed, doer, about to do! A dense, exalted, multiform voice, a hundred years of life, proclaim, divine vāṇa!' Then he scrapes it with a reed bent by Indra and with a cane branch, saying: 'Mind is light,' 'Speech is truth,' 'Mind is auspicious.' He hands it over. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.45.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.45.p1) athaitā anyāḥ parimādaḥ kurute > Then he performs these other parimād songs. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.45.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.45.p2) atha stute > Then the praise is sung. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.45.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.45.p3) atha śīrṣṇāgre stute'tha dakṣiṇena pakṣenāthottareṇātha pucchenātmanottamena > Then the praise is sung first with the head, then with the right wing, then with the left, then with the tail, and lastly with the trunk. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.45) · Pramāṇa
