Coutrihutions from the Jaiviiniya Braliniaua. 187 



2. Poured out iu all directious he lay, all overgrown - with grass. 

 The}- said to him : ' How dost thou feel ? Where can we cure thee ? ' 

 Therefore even now they ask a sick [person]: 'Where is th}- pain? 

 Where can we cure thee ? ' 3. He, pointing rovuid about at the 

 grass, said : '• This here is all about me, cure this here all about me.' 

 4. Then they said to Agni : ' Burn this.' Agni burnt it. Then they 

 said to Parjanya : ' Rain upon this.' Parjanya rained upon it. 6. Then 

 beneticial plants grew up. Of these they took possession by means 

 of the milch-cows ; they thus milked the milk. 6. They saw this 

 sacritice ; they seized it ; with it they sacriliced for him. 7. The 

 fresh milk he^ povired out at the morning service [with the words]: 

 ' By it, indeed, the beginning^ hath been made ' ; therefore it is 

 I called] fresh milk.'^ The boiled milk [he^ poured out] at the mid- 

 day service [with the words]: 'By it, indeed, he is the best one'"; 

 therefore it is [called] boiled milk.^ The sour curds [he'^ poured 

 out] at the evening service [with the words] : ' By it, indeed, it hath 

 been set': therefore they are [called] sour curds. § 8. And as he 

 was l^efore, even stronger, he thence was. If an}' one should either 

 vomit soma or be purged by soma such an one should sacrilice 

 with this [sacrifice]. As he was before, even stronger, he thence 

 becomes. And therefore one should not censure one who \'omits 

 soma or is purged b}' soma, for Indra himself was that.

 the compound Vsrp + anu-pari. Cf. anuparikramaiii juhoti, TS. v. 

 5. 10. 6. 



3. -vadati : TS. ii. 5. 1. 1 has the complete phrase bhiigam avadat, 

 and agrees here very closely with the JB. — The duplicity of Tvastr's 

 son is also mentioned in the Brhaddevata vi. 149—150, where he 

 is sent by the Asuras to act as purohita of the gods and thus harm 

 them.
