therefore speech is the highest of the breaths. The first quarter foot is deficient by one syllable; therefore men live upon the incomplete part of speech. He offers with a full (one), for Prajapati is full as it were; (verily it serves) to obtain Prajapati [1]; he offers with one that is deficient, for from the deficient Prajapati created offspring; (verily it serves) for the creation of offspring. If he were to heat it on the flame, he would win what has been, if on the embers, what is to be; he heats it on the embers; verily he wins what is to be, for what is to be is greater than what has been. With two verses he heats (it); the sacrificer has two feet; (verily it serves) for support. The pan is gathered together with holy power and the Yajus; if it should break, the sacrificer would be ruined [2], and his sacrifice destroyed. 'O Mitra, do thou heat this pan', he says; Mitra is holy power; verily on holy power he establishes it; the sacrificer is not ruined, nor is his sacrifice destroyed. If it should break, he should unite it with the selfsame potsherds; that is the atonement for it. If a man has attained prosperity, he should for him deposit (the fire) after producing it by friction; this is one that has succeeded; verily he approaches his own deity [3]. For him who desires prosperity should be used (the fire) which comes to life from the pan, for from it is it produced, it is self-produced by name; verily he becomes prosperous. If he desire of a man, 'May I produce a foe for him', he should take for him (fire) from elsewhere, and deposit it; verily straightway he produces a foe for him. From a frying-pan he should (take fire) and deposit (it) for one who desires food; in a frying-pan food is kept; verily he wins food with its birth place [4]. He deposits Muñja grass; Muñja is strength; verily he bestows upon him strength. Agni departed from the gods, he entered the Krumuka wood; he deposits Krumuka; verily he wins what of Agni is there imbued. With butter he joins (it); butter is the dear home of Agni; verily he unites him with his dear abode, and with brilliance also [5]. He puts on (a stick) of Vikankata wood; verily he wins radiance; he puts on one of Çami, for atonement. 'Do thou sit down in the lap of this mother', with three (verses) he adores (the fire) when born; three are these worlds; verily he attains reputation in these worlds; verily also he bestows breaths on himself. [[5-1-10]] Formerly Agni would not burn what was not cut by the axe, but Prayoga, the seer, made that acceptable to him. 'Whatever logs we place on thee', (with these words) he puts on a kindling-stick; verily he makes what is not cut by the axe acceptable to him; all is acceptable to him who knows thus. He puts on one of Udumbara wood; the Udumbara is strength; verily he confers strength upon him. Prajapati created Agni; him on creation the Raksases [1] were fain to destroy; he saw that (hymn) of the Raksas-slaying (one); therewith he smote away the Raksases; in that it is (the hymn) of the Raksas-slaying one, thereby he drives away the Raksases from Agni when born. He puts on one of Açvattha wood; of trees the Açvattha is the overcomer of foes; (verily it serves) for victory. He puts on one of Vikankata; verily he wins light. He puts on one of Çami wood, for atonement. 'Sharpened is my holy power', 'Their arms have I uplifted', (with these words) he makes him speak over the last two Udumbara (sticks) [2]; verily by means of the holy power he quickens the kingly power, and by the kingly power the holy power; therefore a Brahman who has a princely person is superior to another Brahman; therefore a prince who has a Brahman is superior to another prince. Now Agni is death, gold is immortality; he puts a gold plate within; verily he severs immortality from death; it has twenty-one projections, the worlds of the gods are twenty-one, the twelve months, the four seasons, these three worlds, and as twenty-first yonder sun [3]; so many are the worlds of the gods; verily from them he severs his foe. By means of the projections the gods reduced the Asuras to straits (nirbadé); that is the reason why projections (nirbadháh) have their names; it is covered with projections; verily he reduces his foes to straits. He puts (it) on with a verse addressed to Savitr, for instigation. 'Night and the dawn', with (this as) second; verily he raises him with day and night. 'The gods, granters of wealth, support Agni', be says; the gods, granters of wealth, are the breaths; verily having raised him with day and night [4] he supports him with the breaths. Sitting he puts (it) on; therefore offspring are born sitting; the black antelope skin is above; gold is brilliance, the black antelope skin is holy power; verily on both sides he encircles him, with brilliance and with holy power. The sling is of six fathoms in extent; the seasons are six; verily he raises him with the seasons; if it is of twelve fathoms, (he raises him) with the year. It is of Muñja grass; the Muñja is strength; verily he unites him with strength. 'Thou art the bird of fair feathers', (with these words) he Keith: Taittiriya-Samhita, Translation - Page 222 of 341
gazes; verily he declares his greatness in that form. 'Go to the sky, fly to the heaven', he says; verily he makes him to go to the world of heaven. [[5-1-11]] The Apri Hymn for the Horse Sacrifice a Enkindled, decking the store-room of prayers, Swelling with sweet butter, O Agni, Steed bearing the strong drink, O all-knower, Carry it to the dear place of the gods. b With ghee adorning the paths leading to the gods, Let the strong one, wise, go to the gods; May thee, O courser, the regions attend, Bestow strength on this sacrificer. c To be praised thou art, and to be celebrated, O steed; Swift and pure art thou, O courser; May Agni in unison with the gods, the Vasus, Bear thee [1], a glad messenger, he the all-knower. d Rejoicing in the strewn grass, well strewed, That doth extend wide and broad on the earth, Joined with the gods, may Aditi in unison, Bestowing pleasantness, cause it to prosper. c These happy (doors), all formed, Opening with their sides, with the centre, Lofty and sounding, adorning themselves, The doors divine, may they be of pleasant entrance. f Moving between Mitra and Varuna, Well knowing the beginning of sacrifices, The two dawns for you [2], rich in gold, rich in adornment, I settle here in the birthplace of holy order. g First for you have I made glad the two, who share one car, fair of hue, The gods that gaze on all the worlds, Those that ordain your ordinances, The two Hotrs, that indicate the light in its place. h May Bharati with the Adityas love our sacrifice; Sarasvati with the Rudras hath holpen us, And Ida invoked with the Vasus in unison; Our sacrifice, O goddesses, place ye with the immortals. i Tvastr begot the hero with love for the gods; From Tvastr is born the courser, the swift steed [3]; Tvastr produced all this world; The maker of much do thou offer to, as Hotr. k May the steed, anointed with glee, of his own impulse Go to the gods in due season to their abode; May the forest lord knowing the world of the gods, Bear the oblations made ready by Agni. l Waxing with the fervour of Prajapati, Immediately on birth, O Agni, thou didst support the sacrifice As harbinger with the oblation offered with Hail! Do thou go; let the gods eat the oblation duly. PRAPATHAKA II The Preparation of the Ground for the Fire Keith: Taittiriya-Samhita, Translation - Page 223 of 341
