Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 2-7.214

2-7.214

Now these are the stomas of the quarters. The quarters indeed desired: 'May we prosper with equal prosperity through an equal sacrifice, may we be established, may we win the endless heavenly world!' They saw these sacrifices. They brought them. They sacrificed with them. This eastern quarter sacrificed first. It sacrificed with this [sacrifice]. It prospered with this very prosperity, gained this establishment, and won this endless heavenly world. This endless heavenly world was won by it. Even if one were to go eastward for very many days, one would not find its end. Then this upward quarter considered: 'By whichever [sacrifice] these previous ones sacrificed and prospered, by that very one let me sacrifice.' It sacrificed with this very one. It prospered with this very prosperity, gained this establishment, and won this endless heavenly world. This endless heavenly world was won by it. Even if one were to go upward for very many days, one would not find its end.
