He reflected: 'How now might I slay seven of their domestic cattle each day?' He saw these two sacrifices. He brought them; he sacrificed with them. Then indeed he slew seven of their domestic cattle each day. This is that unbreached thunderbolt. With this unbreached thunderbolt he hurled \[destruction\] against them. Just as one might crush sesame seeds with a wooden pestle, so indeed dawn broke upon them, crushed and unburied. He who has a rival, who performs black magic, who contends, should sacrifice with these two. With this unbreached thunderbolt he slays the hateful, evil rival. And they also say: 'One who desires offspring should sacrifice with these two.' The stoma is here linked to the stoma; from a linked pair, offspring and cattle are born, verily for propagation. Then this seventh day becomes seventeen-fold. On it they approach the Mahāvrata. Prajāpati is seventeen-fold; food is the Mahāvrata; they provide Prajāpati with food in his own domain. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p1) athaite'ṣṭarātrāḥ > Now these eight-night rites. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p2) bṛhaspatirvā akāmayata tejasvī brahmavarcasī syāṃ yaśo deveṣu gaccheyamiti > Bṛhaspati desired: 'May I be brilliant, endowed with spiritual luster, may I attain fame among the gods.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p3) sa etamaṣṭarātraṃ yajñamapaśyat > He saw this eight-night sacrifice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p4) tamāharat > He brought it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p5) tenāyajata > He sacrificed with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p6) tato vai sa tejasvī brahmavarcasyabhavadyaśo deveṣvagacchat > Then indeed he became brilliant, endowed with spiritual luster, and attained fame among the gods. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p7) yaśo hyeṣa tadagacchadyadeṣāṃ purodhāmāśnuta > For he attained fame when he obtained the office of domestic priest among them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p8) tejasvī brahmavarcasī bhavati yaśo deveṣu gacchati ya evaṃ veda > He becomes brilliant, endowed with spiritual luster, and attains fame among the gods, who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p9) atho āhurāyuṣkāma evainena yajeteti > And they also say: 'One who desires a full life-span should sacrifice with this.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p10) prāṇo vai gāyatrī > The Gāyatrī is breath. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p11) gāyatrīmeṣa yajño'bhi saṃpannaḥ > This sacrifice has conformed to the Gāyatrī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p12) tasmādu hainenāyuṣkāmo yajeta > Therefore indeed one who desires a full life-span should sacrifice with this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p13) atho āhuḥ paśukāma evainena yajeteti > And they also say: 'One who desires cattle should sacrifice with this.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.310.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310.p14) aṣṭākṣarā vai gāyatrī > The Gāyatrī has eight syllables. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.310) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.310) · Pramāṇa
