In that he binds it, therefore the eye is as if bound. He binds it being in another resting-place; therefore even during life the eye departs. He sings the Jagatī; the ear is indeed the Jagatī; fetching that very one, he binds it in the head. In that he binds it, therefore the ear is as if bound. He binds it being in another resting-place, whose resting-place is the third pressing. Because he binds it being in another resting-place, therefore even during life the ear departs. He sings the Anuṣṭubh; speech is indeed the Anuṣṭubh; fetching that very one, he binds it in the head. In that he binds it, therefore speech is as if bound. He binds it being in another resting-place, whose resting-place is the third pressing or whose resting-place is everywhere. Because he binds it being in another resting-place, therefore even during life speech departs. The other breaths depart, not the breath \[itself\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.267.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.267.p6) - [Next: 2.269](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.269) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2.268) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.268](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.268) · Pramāṇa
