Now this is the Parāka rite. One desiring heaven should sacrifice with this. Its stotras are directed away; its śastras are directed away; its pṛṣṭhas are directed away; its viṣṭutis are directed away; it is altogether directed away. With this very rite, Uccaiḥśravas Kaupayeya, the elderly Kauravya king, sacrificed. Having sacrificed, he went to the heavenly world. Having sacrificed with this very rite, one goes to the heavenly world. Now, for the one whose rite has the Jyotis-Agniṣṭoma, the Jyotis-Ukthya, and the Jyotis-Atirātra: one desiring spiritual luster should sacrifice with this. Like light indeed does he shine who prospers in spiritual luster. Through this, he prospers in spiritual luster and becomes endowed with spiritual luster. Now, for the one whose rite has the seventeen-fold Agniṣṭoma, the seventeen-fold Ukthya, and the seventeen-fold Atirātra: this is the horse sacrifice of Prajāpati. One desiring procreation should sacrifice with this. Now, for the one whose rite has the twenty-one-fold Agniṣṭoma, the twenty-one-fold Ukthya, and the twenty-one-fold Atirātra: this is the horse sacrifice of Āditya. One desiring heaven should sacrifice with this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p1) athaite catūrātrāḥ > Now these four-day rites. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p2) atrirvā akāmayata catvāro me vīrā ājāyeranniti > Atri, indeed, desired: 'May four heroes be born to me.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p3) sa etaṃ catūrātraṃ yajñamapaśyat > He saw this four-day sacrifice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p4) tamāharat > He brought it forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p5) tenāyajata > He sacrificed with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p6) tato vai tasya catvāro vīrā ājāyanta > Then, indeed, four heroes were born to him. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p7) asya catvāro vīrā ājāyante ya evaṃ veda > Four heroes are born to him who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.280.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280.p8) atryṛṣayo vā akāmayanta catvāraścatvāro no vīrā ājāyeranniti > The Atri seers, indeed, desired: 'May four heroes each be born to us.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.280) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Āpastambaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.apastamba.22.21.14.a) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.280) · Pramāṇa
