In that they sacrifice, in that they sit at a sacrificial session, they seek to prosper through the year, they desire to attain the year; for there is nothing outside the year. These nights are self-rule, since there are twenty-four \[in all\]: twelve days on that side, twelve on this side. And the world which is in the middle is the self-ruler; that is the heavenly world. Thus they go to the summit of the sun; they go to self-rule; thus they become followers of no other. These nights correspond to the Jagatī. The Jagatī is cattle; therefore, this sacrificial session brings cattle. They also attain the Virāj. Thus they attain the lordship and sovereignty of the food belonging to the Virāj. The Virāj is deficient by two; two are the \[parts\] of a woman that are deficient, from which she procreates; thereby it is procreative. And through the consecrations, the upasads, and the pressing days, they correspond to the Gāyatrī. The Gāyatrī is breath; therefore, this sacrificial session brings life. The Gāyatrī is vigor; thus they become vigorous and endowed with spiritual luster. The Gāyatrī is primacy; thus they become established in primacy without a rival. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-8.345.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.345.p1) - [Next: 2-8.346](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.346) - [Up: 2-8.345](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.345) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.345.p2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.345.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.345.p2) · Pramāṇa
