Of these, what is one hundred is the lifespan. Now, the twenty-five is the person: five here, five here, five here, five here—the four forward limbs; the body is the twenty-fifth. This very person is of a hundred-year lifespan. As to that, they say: 'Since other triṣṭubhs are praised on complete syllables, \[why is it so here\]?' He should say: 'The person is of the triṣṭubh nature, born from the triṣṭubh. These are not deficient for the person; therefore they have deficient syllables. And since it is made even by an uneven \[number\], on that account they have complete syllables.' As to that, they say: 'Since the person is twenty-fold, they say that this praise belongs to the person. Then why are these uneven sāmans performed for the completeness of the person?' He should say: 'Prajāpati is indeed the mind. Prajāpati is the person. This inner self of his consists of these twenty-five strophic verses. And just as the hair of the head, nails, body-hair, and beard of a person are, such is this: that these uneven sāmans are performed for the completeness of the person.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p1) tadāhuryadbṛhatyāyatanāni pṛṣṭhāni kathamato bṛhatīṣu kṛtaṃ bhavatīti > As to that, they say: 'Since the pṛṣṭhas have the bṛhatī as their seat, how then is it accomplished in the bṛhatīs?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p2) etasyātmano dvāpañcāśaṃ śataṃ bṛhatayo bhavantyekā ca kakup > For this body, there are one hundred and fifty-two bṛhatīs and one kakubh. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p3) tena bṛhatīṣu kṛtaṃ bhavati > By that, it is accomplished in the bṛhatīs. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p4) teno eva kakuppṛṣṭhebhyo na cyavata iti > By that also, the kakubh does not fall away from the pṛṣṭhas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p5) tadāhuḥ kiṃchandāḥ pañcaviṃśa stoma iti > As to that, they say: 'Of what meter is the twenty-fifth stoma?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p6) paṅktichandā iti brūyāt > 'Of the paṅkti meter,' he should say. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.47.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47.p7) etaddha vai pratyakṣaṃ pañcaviṃśasya stomasya chando yatpaṅktiḥ > For this is indeed the visible meter of the twenty-fifth stoma, namely the paṅkti. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.47) · Pramāṇa
