Drained, as it were, are these chandomas which have the third pressing as their seat; drained, as it were, is the third pressing. Therefore, in that the meter is repeated-struck, they place sap in the chandomas; this is the finding of sap. And it is composed in the Kakubh meter, ending in a svara. The svara is breath, the Kakubh of meters is man. Primacy is breath, primacy is man. Through primacy he joins primacy; through primacy he establishes himself. And because Śarkara the dolphin saw it, therefore it is called Śārkara. 'Friends, sit down; sing forth to the purifying one'—they contain \[the preverb\] 'pra' (pravat); thus they enter upon the form of the introductory rite, for this day is introductory. 'Adorn him with sacrifices, like a child, for glory'—thus they enter upon the form of cattle; a child belongs to cattle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [32.194.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.32.194.p1) tāsu plavam > On them \[is sung\] the Plava. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [32.194.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.32.194.p2) yo vai samudramaplavaḥ prasnāti nainaṃ sa vyaśnute'tha yaḥ plavī prasnāti sa > Whoever indeed swims across the ocean without a boat does not attain the other side;
