For this indeed is the firm foundation of a sāman, namely the finale. These ones having finales are six; six are the seasons, the year. Just as one would climb a tree stepping with foot-supports, even so do they go climbing to the heavenly world by means of these sāman-finales. Therefore those having finales are not to be displaced from the heads of the pavamāna \[lauds\]. And when I told you, 'Do not go away from the six possessing yellowish bays,' I told you only this: 'Take hold of the Bṛhatī verses with the iḷā-divisions (iḷābhiḥ)! Do not go away from the six possessing yellowish bays!' These are those \[verses\] having streams/bays. Just as having yoked female mules possessing speed/bays one would go where one wishes to go, even so by these iḷā-divisions do they reach the heavenly world. Therefore the Bṛhatī verses are indeed to be grasped with the iḷās. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-8.419](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.419) - [Next: 2-8.421](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.421) - [Up: 2-8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-8.420) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.420](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-8.420) · Pramāṇa
