Thereupon he indeed cut off Khalatī Daivovāta. He obtained this much offspring. Three \[verses\] of the one \[day\] are left over, \[and\] the other is deficient by two. Those three \[verses\] that are redundant belong to the male, by which he procreates. Those two \[verses\] that are deficient belong to the female, from which she brings forth. Thus this productive pairing is made. He who knows this is born through a productive pairing. Both those \[sets of\] stoma verses amount to seven hundred and twenty-one. That many are the days and nights of the year. The year, verily, is the complete Prajāpati, \[so they thought,\] 'May we succeed in reaching the complete Prajāpati; may the complete Prajāpati come to us.' Now, the one stoma verse that is left over is indeed the world of the sacrificer. A Brahmin repeatedly said to him: 'No further hero like this will be born in his offspring; he made a world for himself alone, not for offspring, for he attained only this one world.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p1) taddhānubudhyovāca yathādaivaṃ tyasya prajāyā astu > Recognizing that, he said: 'Let it be according to the divine will for his offspring!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p2) khalatī devedevo'haṃ daivovātī avācchitsīti > 'A god among gods, I have cut off Khalatī Daivovāta!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p3) tathā hainaṃ tāvabhitepatustathābhiśuśucatuḥ > Then both of them grieved for him in that way; they burned \[with sorrow\] for him in that way. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p4) tadidaṃ tadeva > That very thing is this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p5) ime hābhipratāraṇā iyanto no aparastādṛṅvīra ājāyate > These descendants of Abhipratārin are only this many; no further such hero is born among them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p6) atha yasyaitasyatrivṛtpañcadaśābhyāṃ viparyāsam > Now, of this \[rite\], alternating with the trivṛt and pañcadaśa \[stomas\]: > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p7) pūrvamaharagniṣṭomo bhavati > the first day is an Agniṣṭoma, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p8) sarvastomo'tirātra uttaram > \[and\] the second is an all-stoma Atirātra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p9) prajananakāmo haitena yajeta > One desiring procreation should sacrifice with this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p10) trivṛtpañcadaśau stomau bhavata ūnātiriktau mithunau prajanī > The trivṛt and pañcadaśa stomas are deficient and redundant, a productive pair. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.238.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238.p11) ūnamanyasyātiriktamanyasya > One is deficient, the other is redundant. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-7.238) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.238) · Pramāṇa
