2-8.295
Now, for whom there is this three-day rite consisting of the Jyotis, Go, and Āyus [days], a twenty-fourth day, and an Atirātra with all the stomas: one who desires, 'May the Mahāvrata be approached by me indirectly,' should sacrifice with this. In that there is a twenty-fourth day, thereby indeed the Mahāvrata is approached by him indirectly. Furthermore, whatever hiṃkāra, prastāva, or pratihāra occurs there, thereby the twenty-fifth is attained by him. There is an Atirātra with all the stomas, for conquering and striding across all the worlds; for all this is indeed the stomas. And also [he thinks], 'Having prospered together with those individual stomas which we have approached, establishing ourselves in them, let us reach the end.' Now, for whom there is this three-day rite consisting of the Trivṛt, Pañcadaśa, and Saptadaśa [days], a twenty-fourth day, and a Jyotiratirātra: one who desires, 'May the Mahāvrata be approached by me indirectly,' should sacrifice with this. In that there is a twenty-fourth day, thereby indeed the Mahāvrata is approached by him indirectly. Furthermore, whatever hiṃkāra, prastāva, or pratihāra occurs there, thereby the twenty-fifth is attained by him. There is a Jyotiratirātra; this indeed is the known divine ford, that is, the Jyotiratirātra. [He thinks], 'By the known divine ford, uninjured, may we uninjured reach the end.'
2-8.295.p1
Now, for whom there are two Jyotiṣṭoma Agniṣṭomas on either side, and the Go and Āyus Ukthyas in between,
2-8.295.p2
with a Jyotiratirātra in the middle: one desiring procreation should sacrifice with this.
2-8.295.p3
This indeed is complete procreation, namely the Jyotiratirātra.
2-8.295.p4
And procreation is from the middle of oneself.
2-8.295.p5
In that the Jyotiratirātra is in the middle, he places procreation right in the middle of himself; he becomes manifold,
2-8.295.p6
he is procreated.
2-8.295.p7
The Go and Āyus are the two Ukthyas in between.
2-8.295.p8
Ukthas are indeed cattle.
2-8.295.p9
Their stoma verses are five hundred.
2-8.295.p10
With cattle, indeed, he grasps his offspring on both sides.
2-8.295.p11
The two Jyotiṣṭoma Agniṣṭomas are on either side.
