The Dairghaśravasa is food, for the attainment of food. Dīrghatamas Māmateya, going on a quest for gain, said to Dīrghaśravas, his younger brother: “Be the overseer of these our wives.” Dīrghaśravas desired: “May I secure food, lest these wives starve.” He saw this sāman; with it he praised Agni: / “He who distributes all goods, the pleasant Hotṛ of the peoples, / as the first cups of honey, may praises go forward to this Agni!” / Thus. Agni, being praised by him, made this whole \[world\] consist of honey-sweet food for him. His wives lived just as those who eat honey. That is indeed a great sap; it is great food. By this sāman, indeed, he secures great food. And because Dīrghaśravas saw it, therefore it is called Dairghaśravasa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p1) atha yaśaḥ > Now, the Yaśas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p2) yaśasā vai devā yaśo'bhavan > By the Yaśas, indeed, the gods became glory. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p3) yaśo'sāmeti satramāsate > They sit at the sacrificial session \[thinking\]: “May we become glory.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p4) yaśa eva bhavanti > They indeed become glory. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p5) tacchrīrvai yaśaḥ > That glory, indeed, is prosperity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p6) aśnute śriyaṃ ya evaṃ veda > He attains prosperity who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p7) tadu saptatriṃśadakṣarāṇadhanaṃ bhavati > And it has a nidhana of thirty-seven syllables. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p8) ṣaṭtriṃśadakṣarā vai bṛhatī > The Bṛhatī, indeed, has thirty-six syllables. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p9) bṛhatī svargo lokaḥ > The Bṛhatī is the heavenly world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p10) asāvādityassaptatriṃśaḥ > Yonder sun is the thirty-seventh. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p11) etasminneva tatsvarge loke'ntataḥ pratitiṣṭhanti > They establish themselves in the end in this very heavenly world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p12) tasyo etāṃ kalyāṇīmāśiṣamantata āśāsata > And they pray for this auspicious blessing at the end. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p13) āyurviśvāyurviśvaṃ viśvamāyuraśīmahī > 'Lifespan, full lifespan, everything; may we attain full lifespan!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p14) ti ### [44.257.p15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p15) tayaivaitatsamṛdhyodṛcamaśnuvate > By this very prosperity they attain the conclusion. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p16) atha śulkaḥ > Now the Śulka. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p17) śulkena vai devāśśulko'bhavan > By means of the Śulka the gods became toll-collectors. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p18) śulko'sāmeti satramāsate > They sit at the sacrificial session \[thinking\], 'May we become toll-collectors!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p19) śulka eva bhavanti > They indeed become toll-collectors. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p20) tacchrīrvai śulkaḥ > The Śulka is indeed prosperity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [44.257.p21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257.p21) aśnute śriyaṃ ya evaṃ veda > He attains prosperity who knows thus. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.44.257) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.44.257) · Pramāṇa
