Therefore, one who desires cattle should sacrifice with it. And they also say: 'There should be thirty-six \[stotras\].' The Bṛhatī consists of thirty-six syllables; the Bṛhatī reached the heavenly world. That, indeed, is related to heaven for him; therefore, one who desires heaven should sacrifice with it. Those are three Jagatī \[quarters\]; there are three Jagatī quarters: by that, they do not depart from the form of the Jagatī. And they also say: 'There should be twenty-four.' The year consists of twenty-four half-months; it is procreation. This sacrifice is procreation; thereby procreation is effected. Therefore, one who desires procreation should sacrifice with it. That becomes one Jagatī quarter: by that very fact, they do not depart from the form of the Jagatī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-8.284.p18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.284.p18) - [Next: 2-8.286](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.286) - [Up: 2-8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.285) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.285](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.285) · Pramāṇa
