The sāman does not come together, nor the stotriya verse; my worlds do not unite." The sacrificer's world becomes wider. If the sāman were to come together, if the stotriya verse, if these worlds were to unite, the sacrificer's world would be narrower. The Gāyatra comes together. The Gāyatra, indeed, is breath. For breath comes together everywhere. The Yajñāyajñīya comes together. The Yajñāyajñīya, indeed, is speech. For speech and breath come together everywhere. Two sāmans come together; the sacrificer is two-footed, for firm establishment. He becomes firmly established, who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.260.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.260.p1) prajāpatirvāvedamagra āsīt > Prajāpati, indeed, was this \[universe\] in the beginning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.260.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.260.p2) so'kāmayata bahuḥ syāṃ prajāyeya bhūmānaṃ gaccheyamiti > He desired: "May I be many, may I reproduce, may I reach abundance!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.260.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.260.p3) so'śocat > He grieved. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.260.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.260.p4) so'tapyata > He performed tapas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-7.260.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.260.p5) taṃ śocantaṃ tapyamānaṃ prāṇā abhyavadanvayaṃ vā imaṃ yajñamadṛśma tena tvā > Unto him, grieving and performing tapas, the vital breaths said: "We have seen this sacrifice.
