The fifth day is as if with a gap. When they praise at the beginning of the midday purifying laud with the Yaṇvasantani, it is for the continuity of the day, for the gaplessness of the day. He who knows this stands firm. Prajāpati created cattle; created, they went away from him. He desired: "May I hold the cattle in myself." He saw this sāman; with it he held the cattle in himself. In that he held (ayacchat) the cattle in himself, that is the yaṇva-nature of the Yaṇva. The Udgātṛ is this Prajāpati; he holds the cattle in himself by means of the Yaṇva. The fifth day is the central turning day of the twelve-day rite. The Yaṇvasantani is at the beginning, the Santani at the end. By means of the Yaṇvasantani they continue the earlier three-day period, and by the Santani the subsequent one. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p1) indro vai simā nāsaghnot > Indra could not endure the limits. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p2) so'kāmayata simāssaghnuyāmiti > He desired: "May I endure the limits." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p3) sa etatsāmāpaśyat > He saw this sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p4) tenāstuta > With it he sang praise. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p5) tato vai sa simā asaghnot > Then indeed he endured the limits. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p6) tadyadetatsāma bhavati | simānāmeva sagdhyai > In that this sāman is \[used\], it is for the enduring of the limits. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [20.91.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p7) tasya triḥ prastauti | sakṛtpratiharati | trirnidhanamupayanti > For it he chants the prastāva three times; he responds once; they join in the finale three times. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.20.91) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91) · Pramāṇa
