The gods desired: "May Agni carry this sacrificial offering across for us." They saw this sāman. With it they praised him: "Sing high to Agni, O bright one, \[what is\] most conveyable; like a queen, from you wealth, from you victories surge forth. Your gleaming rays are called high, like a pressing-stone; and your thunder is heard like a roar from heaven by itself. Thus have we, seeking goods, worshipped the mighty Agni; may he, skillful, take us across all enmities like a boat." Just as one would ferry across by boat, even so did Agni ferry across this sacrificial offering of theirs from the ninth day to the tenth day. He indeed is able to ferry this across. That the Yādvāhiṣṭhīya is \[used\] here is solely for the continuity of the sacrifice. For him the sacrifice is extended continuously, Agni ferries across his sacrificial offering, who knows thus. It has the raised iḷā, the form of the Bṛhat on a Bṛhat-day. By that indeed it is rich in form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [50.269.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.50.269.p1) athāsitam > Now, the Āsita. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [50.269.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.50.269.p2) ṛṣayo vā abruvannetemamupariśyenaṃ svargaṃ lokaṃ jigīsāma > The seers said: "Come, let us win that heavenly world above the falcon, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [50.269.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.50.269.p3) yadasminnete'tharvāṇa iti > in which these Atharvans dwell." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [50.269.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.50.269.p4) preṇī saubhāhito madhucchandā vaiśvāmitro'sito daivalo ya u cānye tasya > Preṇi Saubhāhita, Madhucchandas Vaiśvāmitra, Asita Devala, and whichever others > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [50.269.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.50.269.p5) hāntikaṃ didīkṣate | teṣāṃ ha jyogeva yajamānānāṃ nopaśuśruvurbahū yeva > consecrated themselves near him.
