Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 17.80.p1

17.80.p1

On these [verses is chanted] the Vātsapra.
Vatsaprī Bhālandana's fellow session-participants harassed him, saying: 'Your father was a thief.'
He desired: 'May I gain trust; may they invite me.'
He saw this sāman.
With it he chanted praise.
Thereupon he gained trust and an invitation.
They sit for a sacrificial session saying, 'May we gain trust.'
They indeed gain trust.
This sāman is indeed the counterpart of the Vairāja.
Just as the stobhas of the Vairāja consist of repetitions of verses, so too the stobhas of the Vātsapra consist of repetitions of verses.
This is indeed the offspring of the Vairāja.
To him who knows this, a counterpart is born in his offspring.
Then they invited him, saying: 'He has produced the counterpart of the Vairāja.'
It is unimpinged.
From what is unimpinged, offspring and cattle are born.
Unimpinged is the characteristic of this Vairāja day.
Thereby it is richly endowed with characteristic form.
And because Vatsaprī Bhālandana saw it, therefore it is called the Vātsapra.
