The Śakvarī verses have seven padas; cattle belong to the Śākvara; foot by foot he holds them firmly. The Śakvarīs are cattle. The Yaṇvasantani is at the beginning, the Santani at the end, for enclosing cattle. Just as one would stretch an enclosure around a pen with a fence or a rope, so indeed he encloses cattle against loss. His property is not lost, who knows this. The Śakvarīs are waters. The Yaṇvasantani is at the beginning, the Santani at the end, for enclosing the waters. Therefore the waters flow enclosed. These two are the banks of the waters. If these two were not there, this whole swelling of water would wipe away, as if a dam burst; so this is for non-destruction. Of this Yaṇvasantani, having reached the iḷā in the middle, they reach an additional iḷā at the end. It is the visible form of the Śakvarī verses on a Śākvara day; therefore it is complete in form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.91.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.91.p7) - [Next: 20.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.93) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.20.92) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.20.92) · Pramāṇa
