There are indeed three seasons; the others are non-seasons. Summer, the rainy season, and winter: these are indeed the prosperous seasons; the others are as if attached to them. \[They do this\] so that: 'Those seasons which are prosperous, they shall be obtained by us.' There are indeed three meters, three pressings, three \[breaths\]—in-breath, out-breath, and diffused breath—and these three worlds. Whatever is three-fold, this is the prosperity of all that, the attainment thereof. There are five three-day periods beyond, and five on this side. By that very fact they do not depart from the nature of a five-day period. Now this Viśvajit is an Atirātra having all pṛṣṭhas; it is a day belonging to Prajāpati. Day and night are the complete Prajāpati: 'May we prosper in the complete Prajāpati, may the complete Prajāpati be obtained by us.' Regarding this, they say: 'Those who undertake this Viśvajit Atirātra ascend to what is superior, for they approach Prajāpati manifestly.' Then, that there are five three-day periods coming backward beyond it is just for conciliation, for freedom from affliction, for auspiciousness, for peace. The concluding Atirātra is connected with Vaiśvānara; for ahīna soma sacrifices have Vaiśvānara as their conclusion. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.360.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.360.p1) trimāsyaṃ vā etatsatraṃ tena yarddhissaivarddhiḥ > This sacrificial session consists of three months; by that, whatever is prosperity, that very thing is prosperity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.360.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.360.p2) yau ha khalu vai dvau māsāvṛtossarddhiḥ > The two months which \[make up\] a season are its prosperity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.360.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.360.p3) ṛturu pratyakṣaṃ saṃvatsarasyarddhiḥ > The season, manifestly, is the prosperity of the year. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.360) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.360](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.360) · Pramāṇa
