Whatever one wins by means of a twelve-day rite accompanied by sacrificial gifts, he who knows thus wins. Now, there is this thousandth \[cow\]. If he should give it, he would be emptied out, and the embryos would dry up; if he should not give it, his thousand given would be deficient. He should not give a part and what is to be given. That is a pair. After that, he procreates. Regarding this, they say: thus, indeed, it becomes ungiven, or indeed he surrenders just a part. Then the thousand would follow that part, or that part would follow the thousand; that is an uncertainty. Having given it, he should buy it back with an ordinary cow. Regarding this, they also say: thus, indeed, it becomes given. A cow is the other, a cow is the other; he should buy it back with wool thread from a sheep, for as much as he thinks it is worth. Now, wool thread is just a trifling thing compared to a cow. His thousand becomes given, and he is not emptied out himself. Just as one would enclose a pen with twigs or with a rope, in the very same way he holds on to the cattle, so that they do not wander off. His property is not scattered, who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-7.256.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.256.p10) - [Next: 2-7.259](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.259) - [Up: 2-7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-7.257) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.257) · Pramāṇa
