Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 11.44

11.44

Next, the Gautama [sāman]. Both colors [are used] for success: based on the Bṛhat in its prastāva, based on the Rathantara above. Gotama Rāhūgaṇa desired: 'May I be a winner of gain.' He saw this sāman. With it he praised. Then indeed he became a winner of gain. 'May we be winners of gain'—[so thinking] they sit at the sacrificial session. They indeed become winners of gain. And those ṛṣis who are further back than Gotama and those who are more recent, both revere that very ṛṣi Gotama. For he saw this greatness. Both those fathers who are further back than him and those who are more recent revere him, who knows thus. And because Gotama Rāhūgaṇa saw it, therefore it is called Gautama.
