Regarding this they say: 'Those who introduce \[it\] with verses dedicated to Pavamāna are deprived of their breaths.' Because this introductory verse is dedicated to Vāyu, and Vāyu is breath, they prosper with breaths. It contains 'śukra' in 'O Vāyu, the clear \[śukra\] has been offered to you,' for this day belongs to Śukra. In 'the foremost of the sweet drink at the offerings,' thereby they become sweet, foremost, and possessed of spiritual luster. In 'come to drink soma,' it is thereby made into a soma-verse belonging to Pavamāna. In 'O desirable god, accompanied by teams,' he indeed is desirable, and food is accompanied by teams; thus they approach him with food. He who approaches a superior bringing a gift, \[the superior\] rejoices at him; but he who approaches him bringing nothing, he does not rejoice at him. Because this introductory verse is dedicated to Vāyu in the Anuṣṭubh, \[it is so that\] he will rejoice at us and we may prosper with him. Concerning this, however, they say: the introductory verse should be 'Flow as the foremost of speech.' Speech indeed is spread out as these worlds; that which is yonder sun burns as its top. Because the introductory verse is 'Flow as the foremost of speech,' it is him that they approach through this. Just as one might grasp oneself with oneself, even so do they grasp him with his own form. Moreover, because this quarter 'pavasva' is turned underneath, by that this Vāyu, turned underneath, blows so that there will be no burning up. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p1) svarbhānurvā āsura ādityaṃ tamasāvidhyat > Svarbhānu, the Asura, pierced the sun with darkness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p2) taṃ devāścarṣayaścābhiṣajyan > The gods and the ṛṣis healed him. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p3) ta etāni divākīrtyāni sāmānyapaśyan > They saw these Divākīrtya sāmans. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p4) tairasya tamo'paghnan > With them they struck away his darkness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p5) tadyadetāni divākīrtyāni bhavantyādityasyaivaitaistamo'paghnanti > Because these Divākīrtyas are \[used\], it is the darkness of Āditya that they strike away with them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p6) yādṛgaha vai manuṣyo devebhyaḥ karoti tādṛgasmai devāḥ kurvanti > As a human does for the gods, so the gods do for him. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p7) tadyadetāni divākīrtyāni bhavantyātmana evaitaistamo'paghnate > Because these Divākīrtyas are \[used\], it is their own darkness that they strike away with them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p8) bhrājābhrāje pavamānayormukhe bhavataḥ > The Bhrāja and Ābhrāja sāmans are at the head of the two pavamāna lauds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p9) aṅgebhya evāsya tattamo'paghnanti > They strike away that darkness from his limbs. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p10) mahādivākīrtyaṃ pṛṣṭhaṃ vikarṇaṃ brahmasāma > The Mahādivākīrtya is the pṛṣṭha, and the Vikarṇa is the brahman's sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p11) madhyata evāsya tattamo'paghnanti > They strike away that darkness from his middle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2-8.389.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389.p12) daśastobhaṃ bhāsamagniṣṭomasāma > The Bhāsa with ten stobhas is the Agniṣṭoma sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.389) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.389) · Pramāṇa
