The Bṛhatī is indeed the self-ruler of the meters. They perform it backward, forward, and across for food. Therefore they live upon cattle \[moving\] backward, forward, and across. Just so much indeed is the faculty and vital power in the year: namely the twelve-day rite, twelve full-moon days, twelve eighth days, twelve new-moon days. Truly, through this he secures that. He who knows the Virāj established in the seasons, and the seasons established in the Virāj, goes to a firm standing, he secures food. The Virāj has thirty syllables; the seasons are six. Thus indeed the Virāj stands firmly in the seasons, and the seasons in the Virāj. He goes to a firm standing, he secures food, who knows thus. In performing the twelve-day rite, it is truly this Anuṣṭubh that they perform. The Anuṣṭubh has thirty-two syllables. Cattle are four-footed. Speech is the Anuṣṭubh. Through speech he holds fast cattle. Therefore cattle, controlled by speech, summoned by speech, come. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.5.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5.p1) ṣcgāyatramukho vai prathamastryahaḥ > The first three-day period has the Gāyatrī at its beginning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.5.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5.p2) tasmādayamagnirūrdhvo dīdāya > Therefore this fire shines upward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.5.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5.p3) gāyatramadhyo dvitīyastriyahaḥ > The second three-day period has the Gāyatrī in the middle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.5.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5.p4) tasmādayaṃ vāyustiryaṅpavate > Therefore this wind blows across. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.5.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5.p5) gāyatrottamastṛtīyastriyahaḥ > The third three-day period has the Gāyatrī at the end. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.3.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.5) · Pramāṇa
