She bound together thirty and thirty \[syllables\]. She became thirty syllables in her own self. Two syllables approached her from behind: she became that very Anuṣṭubh. Therefore, the two breasts of a woman emerge as if from behind \[in growth\]. She is that very Virāj with breasts. Since she sacrificed twelve times, she created those twelve months. They became the twelve days of the twelve-day rite; they became the twenty-four half-months; they became the seven hundred and twenty days and nights. She created this year, the sacrifice. For this sacrifice is indeed the year. She did not know: 'Have I created a sacrifice?' She thought only: 'Have I created something?' Joy came upon her. Then she knew: 'I have created a sacrifice.' She considered: 'This sacrifice which I have created—come, let me extend it out of my very own self.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 58.325.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.325.p2) - [Next: 58.327](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.327) - [Up: 58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.58.326) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.326](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.326) · Pramāṇa
