Jayā-devāḥ Mantraśarīratvaṃ, Vairāgya, and Brahmā’s Śāpa
The Jayas’ Refusal of Progeny
त्रयी विद्या ब्रह्ममयप्रसूतिः श्राद्धं तपो यज्ञमनुप्रदानम् / एतानि नित्यैः महसा रजोभिर्भूत्वा विभुर्वसते ऽन्यत्प्रशस्तम्
trayī vidyā brahmamayaprasūtiḥ śrāddhaṃ tapo yajñamanupradānam / etāni nityaiḥ mahasā rajobhirbhūtvā vibhurvasate 'nyatpraśastam
The Trayi-vidyā, the lore of the three Vedas, is a birth wrought of Brahman; śrāddha, austerity, yajña, and sacred giving—becoming these eternal splendors, the all-pervading Lord abides; yet beyond this, another is praised as most excellent.
