He went to where this world named Kāma is. Pleased with food, he created rivers between, so that this evil would not follow after. These very \[rivers\] he made milkers of desires (kāmadughā). He considered: 'Come, let me step upward.' He stepped upward with the forty-eight \[syllabled meter\]. He went to where this world named Suvar is. There he rested for a long time, \[thinking:\] 'Abundant is his own property.' That is his Suvar-nature (suvatā). He considered: 'Come, let me gather one world from these worlds.' From these worlds he gathered one world. That became this tenth day of the twelve-day rite. He said: 'Indeed, this has become painless (akam) for me.' In that he said, 'Indeed, this has become painless for me,' that is the firmament's (nāka) nature as firmament. This tenth day is indeed the firmament; this is the heavenly world; this is the highest summit of the sun. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [58.345.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345.p1) tadyathā vṛkṣaṃ vā giriṃ vādhiruhya > Just as one, having climbed a tree or a mountain, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [58.345.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345.p2) vyavekṣetaivamevaitasmāllokādanyām̐llokānvyavekṣate > might look down, in the very same way one looks down upon other worlds from this world. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [58.345.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345.p3) sa imāḥ prajā aśanāyantīḥ pratyavaikṣata > He looked down at these creatures who were hungry. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [58.345.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345.p4) tā dvābhyāṃ rūpābhyāṃ pratyādravannīlena ca suvarṇena ca > They ran toward him in two forms: in dark-blue and in gold. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.58.345) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [Jaiminīyopaniṣadbrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya_upanisad.2.3.4) — Sanskrit - [Jaiminīyopaniṣad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.jaiminiyopanisad.64.4) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.58.345) · Pramāṇa
