If he is pure, they consume; if he is impure, they look on. Even that is praiseworthy, to whom they come looking on. He who knows the vessel of the gods becomes worthy of the vessel among his own people. The Brahmin indeed is the vessel of the gods. Worthy of the vessel among his own people becomes he who knows thus. Just as people wish to drink with a clean, pure vessel, so indeed the gods wish to drink through a clean, pure Brahmin. Therefore, a Brahmin should strive to be pure and clean. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p1) prajāpatirdevānasṛjata > Prajāpati created the gods. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p2) tānmṛtyuḥ pāpmānvasṛjyata > After them, evil death was created. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p3) te devāḥ prajāpatimupetyābruvankasmā u no'sṛṣṭhā mṛtyuṃ cennaḥ > Those gods, approaching Prajāpati, said: 'Why did you create us, if you were > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p4) pāpmānamanvasrakṣyannāsitheti > to create evil death after us?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p5) tānabravīcchandāṃsi saṃbharata tāni yathāyatanaṃ praviśata tato mṛtyunā pāpmanā > He said to them: 'Gather the meters; enter them according to their proper places; then from evil death > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [2.282.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282.p6) vyāvartsyatheti > you will be separated.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2.282) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2.282) · Pramāṇa
