Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 2-3.106

2-3.106

Now, of this Abhibhū, the two trivṛt [stomas] are on both sides, and the two thirty-three-fold are in the middle. Of these two there are sixty-six strophic verses. Of these, that which is sixty is the throne. Then the four that there are, they are the legs of the throne. Then the two that there are, that is the two-footed sacrificer himself seated upon this royal throne. He who knows thus attains sovereignty, whether in this world or in yonder world. Moreover they say: 'That [stoma] which has these two trivṛt [stomas] in the middle is also a throne.' The throne is, as it were, sunken in the middle. This [man] is, as it were, bent in the middle. That [throne] which is sunken in the middle is indeed more comfortable. He who knows thus attains sovereignty, whether in this world or in yonder world. Moreover they say: 'These two sacrificial rites are indeed a return.' Six stomas go upward from here; six [go] downward from yonder. By six he goes upward to the heavenly world; by six he descends down from yonder. He goes to the heavenly world; he stands firm in this world. And he knows: 'Who I was yonder, that I am here.' He is born again in this world. Moreover they say: 'One desiring heaven should sacrifice with these two.'
