v6.c81.30

¹³ अमिनती दैव्यानि व्रतानि प्र मिनती मनुष्या युगानि। ऋ I 124. 2, प्र य आदित्यौ अनृता मिनात्यमिना शूरो दयते वसूनि। VII 84 4 One may compare with I 124 2, मर्तस्य देवी जरयन्त्यायु in ऋ. I 92. 10 The contrast between अमिनती दैव्यानि व्रतानि and प्रमिनती मनुष्या युगानि is most striking and places the sense of ‘mī’ in a clear light and beyond dispute.
