When the purificatory bath offering is completed, he then takes off the black antelope skin and sprinkles it with water, \[saying\]: 'May I not be separated from faculty, from seniority, from preeminence.' Then he gives it to whomever he considers a gift. Then he sips water: 'You are the purificatory bath of food; you are the purificatory bath of eating; you are the purificatory bath of what has been eaten.' Whatever dregs are clinging here, this is the consumption of that. Then he enters the waters. The waters are indeed a hidden refuge. He enters this hidden refuge for the non-pursuit of evil. If the waters flow, he should bathe against the stream, \[thinking\]: 'May they wash away my evil.' Indeed, all waters flow. Even those that are standing flow downwards; they carry his evil straight downwards. Husband and wife wash each other's back. The waters are indeed a vajra. With the vajra they strike away all evil. Moreover, they thus make that couple a productive pairing for generation. Having bathed, he should emerge quickly, for the swift severing of evil. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p1) unnetarunmā nayetyāha > He says: 'Unnetṛ, lead me up!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p2) viṣṇurvā unnetā yajño vai viṣṇuḥ > Viṣṇu is the Unnetṛ; Viṣṇu is the sacrifice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p3) yajña evainaṃ tatsarvasmātpāpmano vimucyonnayati > It is the sacrifice that, releasing him from all evil, leads him up. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p4) udvayaṃ tamasaspari suvaḥ paśyanto jyotiruttaram > 'Looking upon the higher light beyond the darkness, to the heavenly world, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p5) devaṃ devatrā sūryamaganma jyotiruttamam > We have gone to the god Sūrya among the gods, the highest light'— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-3.67.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67.p6) ityetāṃ japannudaiti > muttering this \[verse\], he emerges. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-3.67) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-3.67) · Pramāṇa
