The two desired: 'May this ford be shallow for us.' Viśvāmitra saw this sāman. With it he praised: 'The breaker of strongholds, young, wise, of unmeasured might was born, Indra, the upholder of every deed, wielder of the vajra, much praised. You opened the cave of cattle-rich Vala, O wielder of the stone; the gods, being impelled, entered into you without fear. With your gifts, O hero, I have returned, addressing the Sindhu'—speaking thus, the two returned. 'They approached \[you\], O you who delight in songs; your poets know that'—thus indeed the waters subsided. For the two there was a ford. They crossed over by the ford. Now, where this washing-trough was, right there the waters cut him off. \[They said:\] 'This one has perished (anaśat)'—these are the Naṃśus. 'The yoke was not raised (yogaḥ na udyataḥ)'—these are the Āyogavas. 'Let us dwell (vasāma) right here today'—these are the Vasātis. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p1) tadu haiva kumārikāḥ krīḷantīrjahuḥ > And the young maidens abandoned \[their toys\] while playing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p2) sa eva yauṣito girirabhavat > That became the Maiden's Mountain. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p3) atha havā imāni vanānīmācca nadyo'paratāra āsa purā sindhorāsuḥ > Now indeed, these forests and these rivers were formerly on the further bank of the Sindhu. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p4) tau ha paścātparītya prācīḥ prarurudhatuḥ > The two, having gone around from behind, obstructed them \[from flowing\] eastward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p5) tato yānyukṣaśardhatānyāsaṃs | tānīmāni lavaṇāni > Then whatever was foul-smelling, those became these salt tracts. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p6) atha ye tasthus | ta ete kṣudrā vanaspatayo'bhavan > And those that stood still, they became these small trees. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [41.238.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238.p7) atha ha vā imāni pīrustacchamaitad | atha yā nadīstārayāṃcakrus | tā > \[...\] and the rivers which they caused to cross, those— > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.41.238) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Kauthuma (Svādhyāya Maṇḍala edition, Pāraḍī)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.sama*kauthuma*satavalekar.15.9.1) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.41.238) · Pramāṇa
