They perform it backward, forward, and across for food. Therefore they live upon cattle \[moving\] backward, forward, and across. Prajāpati, when being born, was born together with evil. He desired: 'May I strike off evil.' He saw this sacrifice, the twelve-day rite with shifted meters. He took it; he sacrificed with it. By it he shifted evil in every direction. He who considers himself to be seized, as it were, by evil should sacrifice with this twelve-day rite with shifted meters. He shifts evil in every direction. But the creatures become gliding, as it were. In that the subsequent ājya-lauds are in the Gāyatrī \[meter\], it is for the non-slipping of the creatures. A peg or a support is this Gāyatrī; on it the twelve-day rite is held fast against slipping. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p1) ṣcdaśāhena vai prajāpatiḥ prajā asṛjata > With the ten-day rite, Prajāpati created creatures. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p2) tā asya sṛṣṭā viṣūcīrviparaupyanta > When created, they were scattered in all directions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p3) sa etau vaiśvānarāvatirātrāvapaśyat > He saw these two Vaiśvānara Atirātras. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p4) tābhyāmenā ubhayataḥ paryagṛhṇādaneneti upariṣṭādamutāṣ > With these two he enclosed them on both sides: from below with this one, and from above with yonder one. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p5) tā etābhyāmevāvārayata > With these two he held them in check. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [3.7.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7.p6) yadviśvaṃ bhūtamavārayata tadvaiśvānarayorvaiśvānaratvam > Because he held all being in check (avārayata), that is the Vaiśvānara-nature of the two Vaiśvānaras. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.3.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.3.7) · Pramāṇa
