With it they praised him: "Sing forth to the most bountiful, the righteous, the vast one of blazing brilliance; praised \[sing\] to Agni." He said to them: "With what desire are you \[here\]?" "Desiring cattle," they replied. To them, with this very sāman, he gave cattle. They said: "He has become most bountiful (pramaṃhiṣṭha) to us!" That is the essence of the Pramaṃhiṣṭhīya sāman. This is a cattle-winning sāman. He becomes most bountiful to him; he obtains cattle; he becomes rich in cattle who knows thus. Then the meter is repeated-and-divided. Wherever the gods found the essence of the meters, they repeated-and-divided it, they struck it again. For these Chandomas, having their abode at the third pressing, are as if drained. The third pressing is indeed as if drained. When the meter is repeated-and-divided, they thereby place the essence in the Chandomas; it is the finding of the essence for them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 38.224.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.38.224.p6) - [Next: 38.226](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.38.226) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.38) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.38.225) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.38.225](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.38.225) · Pramāṇa
