For that is born in the wilderness, for the attainment of wild food. The gods, indeed, desiring heaven, performed austerity. They saw these two sāmans; with them they praised.

He attains the heavenly world who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 44.255.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.255.p4) - [Next: 44.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.44.256) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.256](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.256) · Pramāṇa
