The seasons, indeed, are odd. The seasons, indeed, generate all this. Thinking, 'May they who generate all this cause me to propagate.' Day by day, releasing a stoma, they proceed; day by day, they bring near a stoma. The stoma, indeed, is a hero. Day by day, thus, generating vital power they proceed; day by day, they bring near vital power. Syllable by syllable, ascending, they proceed. There is a one-syllable finale on the first day, a two-syllable finale on the second, a three-syllable finale on the third, a four-syllable finale on the fourth, thinking: 'May a hero stand upon the syllables, may a hero stand upon the syllables.' There are different Agniṣṭoma-sāmans, for the distinct vital powers of heroes. He is indeed no hero who is a hero according to another's vital power; he alone is a hero who is a hero according to his own vital power. That there are different Agniṣṭoma-sāmans is for the distinct vital powers of heroes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p1) tadāhuryajñāyajñīyamevāhno'hno'gniṣṭomasāma kuryuḥ > Regarding this they say: They should make the Yajñāyajñīya the Agniṣṭoma-sāman day by day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p2) jyaiṣṭhyaṃ vai yajñāyajñīyam > Primacy, indeed, is the Yajñāyajñīya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p3) jyaiṣṭhyādvīro na cyavātā iti > Thinking: 'May the hero not fall away from primacy.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p4) tadyatsamāni stotrāṇi syussamāvaccha eva vīryamaśnuvīran > If the stotras were equal, they would attain vital power equally. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p5) yadviṣamāṇi jyeṣṭheṣvevaikadhā vīryaṃ dadhyuḥ > If unequal, they would place vital power solely in the eldest. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.282.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282.p6) tadyatsamāḥ pavamānā bhavanti samāvaccha eva tadvīryamaśnuvate > In that the pavamāna-stotras are equal, they attain vital power equally. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.282) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.282) · Pramāṇa
