Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 14.55

English (machine translation) 14.55

It has a four-syllabled finale; four-footed indeed are cattle.
The Uṣṇih meter is cattle, for the obtaining of cattle in regular succession.

'Hear the call of Tiraścī'—

thus [is] the Tairaśca.

Other gods and seers conquered the upward worlds.

Then Tiraścī Āṅgirasa desired: 'May I conquer the transverse worlds, by which these waters

flow, by which this wind blows, by which yonder sun moves, by which the moon,

by which the constellations [move]!'

He saw this sāman.

With it he praised.

With it he conquered the transverse worlds, by which these waters flow, by which this wind blows,

by which yonder sun moves, by which the moon, by which the constellations [move].

Truly, by other rites they conquer the upward worlds.

Then by this, [they conquer] the transverse ones; both sets of worlds united

he conquers, both the transverse and the upward, who knows thus.
