Because there is 'abhi', they do not depart from the form of the Rathantara. Indra wished to slay Vṛtra. He ran up to Kaṇva: 'O Seer, we run up to you; speak favorably to us here!' Kaṇva saw this sāman. With it he praised. Then Indra slew Vṛtra. He who knows thus slays his hateful rival. Because Kaṇva with this sāman roared the thunderbolt at him with 'abhi', therefore it is called the Kāṇva with the finale 'abhi'. Now these \[verses\] occur: 'None reached him by deed...'. At this time, the Bṛhatī surpasses the Bṛhatī; the Kakubh surpasses the Kakubh; the Anuṣṭubh surpasses the Anuṣṭubh. That Bṛhatī, being such, turns into a Jagatī. Thereby it surpasses. It oversteps the eighth day, takes hold of the ninth day, and runs back toward the sixth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p1) tāsu vaikhānasam > Upon them is the Vaikhānasa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p2) vaikhānasā vā etāni sāmānyapaśyannabhyārambhaṃ yajñasya pratyapasāram > The Vaikhānasas saw these sāmans as the resumption and receding of the sacrifice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p3) abhyārambhairvai devā asurānyajñādantarāyan > By resumptions, the gods excluded the asuras from the sacrifice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p4) atha ha vai vaikhānasā ityṛṣikā indrasya priyā āsuḥ > Now the little seers known as the Vaikhānasas were dear to Indra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p5) tānha rahasyurmārimlavo mārayāṃcakāra > Rahasyu Mārimlava killed them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p6) tānhecchanrahasyumupeyāya > Seeking them, \[Indra\] approached Rahasyu. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p7) taṃ hovāca rahasyo neha tānvaikhānasānityṛṣikānadrākṣīriti > He said to him: 'Rahasyu, have you not seen here those little seers known as the Vaikhānasas?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p8) sa hovāca syo vai bhagavastānamārayaditi > He said: 'Syo indeed, reverend sir, killed them.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p9) taṃ hovācāṃ rahasyo | yatrā duṣpratijñānā bhrūṇahatyā > He said to him: 'Rahasyu, whereas embryo-slaying is hard to confess, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p10) atha kathaṃ pratyajñāsthā iti > how then did you confess it?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p11) sa hovācānṛṭaṃ ca bhrūṇahatyāṃ codayāṃsam > He said: 'I weighed untruth and embryo-slaying. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p12) tadanṛtamevāyāsīt > Untruth went \[down\] further. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p13) sa satyamevābhyupāgāditi > He went towards truth alone.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p14) taṃ hovāca varaṃ vṛṇīṣva yaḥ pratyajñāsthā iti > He said to him: 'Choose a boon, you who confessed!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p15) sa hovāca brāhmaṇa eva me prajāyāmājāyatāmiti > He said: 'May a Brahmin indeed be born in my progeny.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p16) te haite takṣavo rāhasyavā > Those are these Takṣans of the Rahasyu lineage. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [31.189.p17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189.p17) atho āhurindrameva taddevatā abhyaśaṃsannindraṃ paryacakṣata tvayi satastavo > Moreover they say: 'The deities then blamed Indra; they censured Indra: "While you were there, your..."' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.31.189) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.31.189) · Pramāṇa
