With the head the Udgātṛ begins, with the trunk the Hotṛ. For with whichever he announces, with that he begins. But when he announces one and begins with another, that is against the hair. Now some begin first with the trunk itself. Regarding this, Śāṭyāyani said: 'That is just as if a blind man were to reach the door.' Now some, having chanted the praise, descend and sit looking on while this day's sastra is being recited. Regarding this, Śāṭyāyani said: 'He who does so is liable to become worse. Sāman is dominion, the śastra is the folk. He should remain seated above. Only when the king is being brought should he step down. In this way the king has stepped down for him.' Its formula for stepping down is: 'May the great Heaven and Earth sprinkle this sacrifice for us; may they fill us with nourishments!' Having carried this throne around to the north, they set it down. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.46.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46.p1) tadāhuryadvihṛtametadahaśśasyate vihṛtāsu studhvā3 avihṛtāsū3 iti > Regarding this they say: 'Since this day is recited transposed, should the praise be sung on transposed \[verses\] or on untransposed?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.46.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46.p2) vihṛtāsviti brūyāt > One should reply: 'On transposed.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.46.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46.p3) ya etā rājanyasya devatāstābhirvihṛtaṃ bhavati > It is transposed by means of those deities that belong to the noble. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.46.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46.p4) tadyadgāyatrīṣu śiro bhavati bṛhatīṣu ca kakupsu ca pakṣau dvipadāsu ca pucche > Now, as the head is in Gāyatrī verses, the two wings in Bṛhatī and Kakubh verses, the tail in Dvipadā verses, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.46.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46.p5) triṣṭupsvātmā kathamato vihṛtaṃ bhavatīti > and the trunk in Triṣṭubh verses, how is it thereby transposed? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.46) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Jaiminīya or Talavakāra brāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiyaortalavakarabrahmana.2.47) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.46) · Pramāṇa
