In this world indeed they become wish-yielding for him. He should cause \[them\] to low together in both places if he should desire: 'May they be wish-yielding for me in both worlds.' In both worlds indeed they become wish-yielding for him. As to this they say: 'From here should be the calves, from here the mothers. For waters flow northward; and these cattle are waters.' Regarding this they also say: 'From here alone should be the calves, from here the mothers. When a father settles a son away, he indeed settles him away to the north. Therefore the calves should be on the north, the mothers on the south.' The gods and the asuras contended for cattle. Those gods stood on the north with the calves, and the asuras on the south with the mothers. Those mothers broke through and ran toward the calves. The gods held the calves fast. Having joined them, they turned away from the asuras. With them they fled northward. He strips the cattle of his hateful rival who knows thus. Therefore the calves should be on the north alone, the mothers on the south. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p1) atha vājadāvaryaḥ > Now the Vājadāvarī verses. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p2) annaṃ vai vājo'nnaṃ dāvaryaḥ > Vāja indeed is food; dāvarī is food. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p3) etā annādyasyaivāvaruddhyai > These are indeed for the obtainment of food. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p4) prajāpatiḥ prajā asṛjata > Prajāpati created creatures. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p5) tā anaśanā asṛjata > He created them without food. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p6) tāḥ prajāpatimevopādhāvaṃstābhya etenaiva sāmnānnādyaṃ prāyacchat > They ran up to Prajāpati; to them he gave food by this very sāman. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p7) tā abruvanvājaṃ vai no'nnādyaṃ prādāditi > They said: 'He has given us vāja, food!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p8) tadeva vājadāvarīṇāṃ vājadāvarītvam > That is the nature of the Vājadāvarīs as Vājadāvarīs. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [25.146.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146.p9) tadetadannādyasyāvaruddhissāma > That is this sāman for obtaining food. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.25.146) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.25.146) · Pramāṇa
