Thereupon the cattle turned toward him. Then they became non-departing from him. He said, 'Truly this wealth has stood (asthāt) in me.' That is the wealth-standing-ness (rayiṣṭhatva) of the Rayiṣṭha. That is a sāman belonging to cattle. Wealth stands in him, cattle turn toward him, cattle do not depart from him, who knows thus. It has one and a half iḷās; cattle are iḷā, cattle are the chandomas—\[this is done\] for obtaining cattle in regular order. Now these \[verses\] are two-footed; their ritual explanation has been stated. They are these: 'Flow, O Soma, a great ocean'—for great is this forty-four-verse day. 'Father of the gods, toward every domain'—because there is \[the word\] 'toward' (abhi), it is the characteristic form of the Rathantara; this day has the Rathantara nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [39.230.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.39.230.p1) tāsu dharma dharmaṇā vai devā dharmamādāyāsurāṇāṃ vidharmaṇainānvidharmaṇaḥ kṛtvā parābhāvayan dharmaṇaiva dharmamādāya dviṣato bhrātṛvyasya vidharmaṇainaṃ kṛtvā parābhāvayati ya evaṃ veda tacchrīrvai dharmo | rājyaṃ vai dharmo | dharmeṇa vai rājā dharmo | dharma svānāṃ bhavaty | ṣanaṃ svā yanti | dharmaṇo dhārayati tadāhurnavame'hani kāryam ado vai kṣatraṃ yadbārhatam athedaṃ viḍrāthantaramiti tadu vā āhurvidharmāṇo vai rājāno na vai te'nyairmanuṣyai svadharmāṇaḥ idamu vāva kṣatraṃ yaccatuścatvāriṃśaṃ traiṣṭubham > On them \[is sung\] the Dharma. By the Dharma indeed the gods, having taken away the righteousness (dharma) of the asuras through lawlessness (vidharmaṇa), making them devoid of law, defeated them. By righteousness alone, having taken away the righteousness of his hateful rival, making him devoid of law, he defeats him, who knows thus. Royal glory is indeed righteousness; kingship is righteousness; by righteousness a king is righteous; he becomes the righteousness of his own people; to him his own people go; he upholds from righteousness. Concerning that they say, 'It should be performed on the ninth day; that over there is the kṣatra which belongs to the Bṛhant, and this here is the viś which belongs to the Rathantara.' But they also say, 'Of varied law indeed are kings, they do not have the same law as other men; and this forty-four-verse Triṣṭubh day is truly the kṣatra; therefore let there be diverse law (vidharman) on the ninth day, but this \[Dharma sāman\] here.' 'The sisterly dawns urge on the heroic lord, the great Soma, desiring greatness'—for great is this forty-four-verse day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [39.230.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.39.230.p2) tasmānnavama evāhanvidharma syādihaitaditi hinvanti sūramusraya svasāro jāmayaspatim mahāminduṃ mahīyuvaḥ iti mahaddhyetadaharyaccatuścatvāriṃśam tāsu viśoviśīyamuktabrāhmaṇam ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.39.230) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.39.230](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.39.230) · Pramāṇa
