Here they do not make them directly correspond. Therefore cattle give birth to varied forms: a white one gives birth to a black, and a black to a white; a red one gives birth to a spotted, and a spotted to a red. In these \[verses\], they have the same beginning but different conclusions: "This god, immortal..." \[RV 9.28.1\], "This god, made by poetic inspiration..." \[RV 9.28.2\], "This god, with praising singers..." \[RV 9.28.3\]. This is the first world (pada), this the second, that the third. In this regard they say: "Those who sacrifice with the twelve-day rite surely depart from this world, for they go, as it were, to an end." Because these have the same beginning and different conclusions, they firmly establish themselves in this very world. On the sixth day, they have different beginnings and the same conclusion: through those they firmly establish themselves in that world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p1) daśarcaṃ bhavati daśākṣarā virāṭ > It has ten verses; the Virāj has ten syllables. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p2) annaṃ virāḍ virāja evānnādyasyāvaruddhyai > The Virāj is food: \[it is\] for the attainment of food and proper nourishment from the Virāj. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p3) aṣṭarcaṃ bhavati > It has eight verses. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p4) aṣṭācatvāriṃśamevaivaitena stomamabhivadati > Thereby he speaks directly of the forty-eightfold stoma. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p5) atho aṣṭākṣarā vai gāyatryaṣṭāśaphāḥ paśavaḥ > Moreover, the Gāyatrī has eight syllables, and cattle have eight hooves. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p6) paśavaśchandomāḥ paśūnāmevāvaruddhyai > The Chandomas are cattle: \[it is\] for the attainment of cattle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.241.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241.p7) indro vai vṛtramahan > Indra slew Vṛtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.42.241) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.241) · Pramāṇa
