Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 27.164

27.164

Upward indeed to the heavenly world he steps by it, who knows thus. Now the Śāmmada. When the gods had been victorious, these worlds, fearing, stepped away. They desired: 'May these worlds turn toward us; let them not step away from us.' They saw this sāman. With it they praised. Thereupon these worlds turned toward them; then they became non-departing from them. They said, 'These worlds have truly rejoiced for our peace.' That is the śāmmada-nature of the Śāmmada. These worlds rejoice in peace for him, these worlds turn toward him, these worlds do not step away from him, who knows thus. It has an upward-reaching iḷā; it is the form of the Bṛhat on the Bārhata day; thereby it is complete in form. 'Flow here, purify these riches, generous drop, run forth in the reservoir; of whom, as the sun, the wind does not [surpass] the speed, even Purumedha set a hero for the swift runner'—in this [verse] is the form of the Revatīs.
