He said, 'Father, whose world is this?' 'Mine,' he replied. Then there was another world, even more beautiful. 'Whose is that one?' \[he asked\]. 'Yours,' he replied. He said, 'Father, since you have given more than I, and more has been studied by you than by me, why then is this world yours and that one mine?' He replied, 'O dear son, that world was indeed one to be won by vows. You are indeed more observant of vows than the two of us \[or me\]. Therefore, this world is mine and that one is yours.' 'Go,' he said, 'you will indeed attain whatever wish you shall desire; your wish will be fulfilled. But keep your fingers curved \[crooked\].' He reached completion. Having reached completion, he said, 'Let the drinking vessel indeed belong to Brahmins!' It indeed became the drinking vessel of Brahmins. Thenceforth, down to the present day, the descendants of Ṛjiśvan are possessors of drinking vessels. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p1) athaiṣa citistomaḥ > Now this is the Citistoma. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p2) prajananakāmo yajeta > One desiring procreation should sacrifice \[with it\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p3) tasya pṛṣṭhyasya ṣaḍahasya stomā bhavantyṛtavo vai pṛṣṭhāni > Its stomas are those of the pṛṣṭha six-day period; for the pṛṣṭhas are the seasons. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p4) saṃvatsara ṛtavaḥ > The year is the seasons. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p5) saṃvatsaraḥ prajananaṃ sa yaḥ prajananaṃ sa mā prajanayāditi > The year is procreation: ‘He who is procreation, may he procreate me!’ > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p6) tasyobhaye stomā bhavantyayujaśca yugmantaśca > Its stomas are both: uneven and even. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-5.161.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161.p7) etadvai daivyaṃ mithunaṃ prajananaṃ yadubhaye stomāḥ > This indeed is the divine couple, procreation, namely both stomas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-5.161) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-5.161) · Pramāṇa
