He reached it entirely with the pṛṣṭhya six-day rite alone. He considered: "How now may I connect these four days?" Out of the Gāyatrī he fashioned the twenty-fourth day; out of the Triṣṭubh, the forty-fourth; out of the Jagatī, the forty-eighth; out of the Anuṣṭubh alone he fashioned the tenth day. Because he fashioned them out of all meters for all days, that is the essence of the chandomas. Concerning this, they say: "These stomas are attained, the meters are attained, the deities are attained, the seasons and soma cups are attained, when this pṛṣṭhya six-day rite is attained." As the Bahiṣpavamāna of the seventh day consists of twenty-four \[verses\]—the year has twenty-four half-months; the sacrifice is the year—it is the sacrifice itself that they take hold of at the beginning of the sacrifice. Moreover, the Gāyatrī has twenty-four syllables. It is the Gāyatrīs that extend again the attained sacrificial rite. For none other than the Gāyatrī is worthy to take up the attained sacrificial rite. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p1) etā bhavanti > These \[verses\] are \[used\]: > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p2) pra kāvyamuśaneva bruvāṇa > "Pronouncing poetic wisdom like Uśanas..." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p3) iti pravatīḥ prāyaṇe'han > —thus \[verses\] containing the word "pra" on the introductory day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p4) praṇinīṣeṇyaṃ vā etadahaḥ > This day is to be led forward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p5) preti gāyatryai rūpam > "Pra" is the form of the Gāyatrī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p6) gāyatryā evaitadrūpeṇa prayanti > They go forth with the very form of the Gāyatrī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p7) devo devānāṃ janimā vivakrī > "The god proclaiming the birth of the gods..." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p8) ti somo vai devo devānāṃ janimā > —Soma is indeed the god proclaiming the birth of the gods. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p9) somameva tatprajanayanti > They thereby engender Soma himself. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p10) mahivrataśśucibandhuḥ pāvaka > "Of great resolve, friend of the pure, purifying..." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p11) ityannaṃ vai devāśśucibratamityācakṣate > —the gods call food "of pure resolve." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p12) annamu devānāṃ somaḥ > And Soma is the food of the gods. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p13) tamevaitatprajanayanti > It is that which they generate here. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p14) padā varāho abhyeti rebhann > "The boar approaches chanting with foot..." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [29.173.p15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173.p15) iti varāho vai bhūtvā prajāpatiṣṣaṣṭhād ahnassaptamamaharabhyatyakrāmat > Having indeed become a boar, Prajāpati stepped across from the sixth day to the seventh day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.29.173) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.29.173) · Pramāṇa
