they caused these highest rivers to cross over at Vivasati. While they were being made to cross, it was displeasing to the Sindhu. He said: 'Have we not heard: "Your father Gāthin is a brāhmaṇa"? Whence has this thousandfold strength come to you, Viśvāmitra?' He replied: 'Even as a child speaking in the womb of Mamatā, Dīrghatamas the wise was born, arranging the limbs of the sacrifice. Why, O Ocean, do you boast?' Thereupon they won those cattle. This is a cattle-giving sāman. He who knows this secures cattle and becomes rich in cattle. Because Viśvāmitra saw it, therefore it is called Vaiśvāmitra. It is the acchāvāka's sāman containing iḷā. Iḷā is cattle; in cattle they thus become established.
41.239.p1
akrānsamudraḥ parame vidharmann
'The ocean has stepped out in the highest realm...'
41.239.p2
iti paramo vā aśvaḥ paśūnāṃ | paramassamudraḥ | paramaṃ navamamahas
The horse is the highest among cattle; the ocean is the highest; the ninth day is the highest.
