In that there is a Pṛṣṭhya six-day rite, the pṛṣṭhas indeed are the seasons; the seasons are the year. The year ripens all proper food; they reach that very proper food conquered by the year. The Mahāvrata is twenty-five-fold; food indeed is the twenty-fifth \[factor\], \[it is\] for the attainment of proper food. There is the all-stoma Atirātra for the conquest and traversal of all worlds; for all this \[universe\] is indeed the stomas. Moreover, \[thinking:\] 'Having prospered together with those stomas that we have approached one by one, and having firmly stood in them, may we reach the conclusion!' Now, for one whose \[rite\] has the stomas of this Pṛṣṭhya six-day rite, the twenty-fourth day, the Viśvajit, and the Sarvapṛṣṭha Atirātra—one who should desire: 'May my Mahāvrata be approached indirectly,' he should sacrifice with this rite. In that it is the twenty-fourth day, thereby his Mahāvrata is approached indirectly. Furthermore, whatever hiṃ-sound or prastāva or pratihāra or whatever is there, thereby his twenty-fifth \[entity\] is attained. There is the Viśvajit Sarvapṛṣṭha Atirātra. Fortune indeed and the summit are the pṛṣṭhas; through the pṛṣṭhas they ascend to that very fortune and the summit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.314.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.314.p1) atha yasyaitasya pṛṣṭhyasya ṣaḍahasya jyotiragniṣṭomo madhye bhavati jyotiratirātra > Now, for one of whom the Jyotiragniṣṭoma is in the middle of this Pṛṣṭhya six-day rite, and the Jyotiratirātra > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.314.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.314.p2) upariṣṭādyaḥ kāmayetā me brahmavarcasī prajāyāṃ jāyeteti sa etena yajeta > at the end—one who should desire: 'May one endowed with spiritual luster be born in my offspring,' he should sacrifice with this rite. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.314.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.314.p3) ātma vai pṛṣṭhyaṣṣaḍahaḥ > The Pṛṣṭhya six-day rite is indeed the body. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.314) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.314](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.314) · Pramāṇa
