This slayer of Vṛtra!" Thereby they placed vital power directly into him in advance. He who reaches this day becomes, as it were, a performer of vital power, one who has slain Vṛtra, as it were. That there is \[the word\] "this" (eṣa)—thereby they place vital power directly into him in advance. In this regard they say: "The six-day pṛṣṭha rite possesses the seasons, while the Chandomas are without seasons; those who are \[engaged in\] the Chandomas are established as if without seasons." In that these \[hymns\] have five verses and six verses, the Chandomas are thereby provided with the seasons. That six-verse hymn is the last. When it is direct, then they say "this" (eṣa); when it is indirect, then "that" (sa). Those who reach this day go, as it were, indirectly. Therefore that six-verse hymn by which they advance is the last. With it they ascend. The stoma is forty-eightfold. The Jagatī has forty-eight syllables; the Jagatī is cattle; the Chandomas are cattle. They proceed establishing themselves in cattle, in the Jagatī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.242.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242.p1) aganma mahā namasā yaviṣṭham > "We have approached the youngest \[Agni\] with great reverence..." \[RV 1.36.1\] > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.242.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242.p2) iti gadvantyājyāni bhavanti > —thus the ājya chants contain forms of the root gam- ("to go"). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.242.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242.p3) gacchantīva vā ete ya etadaharāgacchanti > Those who reach this day go, as it were. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [42.242.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242.p4) yo dīdāya samiddha sve duroṇa > "...who, kindled, has shone in his own abode" \[RV 1.36.1\] > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.42.242) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.42.242) · Pramāṇa
