the nidhana winter. That is the Vair"g"a Sman, as interwoven in the seasons.
2. He who thus knows the Vair"g"a, as interwoven in the seasons, shines (vir"g"ati) through children, cattle, and glory of countenance. He reaches the full life, he lives long, becomes great with children and cattle, great by fame. His rule is, 'Never complain of the seasons.'
