Speech indeed is this day; speech is the Anuṣṭubh; thus he establishes speech in speech. With \[the hymn beginning\], 'They went to heaven,' he reaches the gods by means of this hymn. The triplet, 'He in the ancient manner, the increaser of sages,' contains \[the word\] 'arka'; thereby it is successful. The final \[verse\] is in Gāyatrī metre; thereby it is successful. 'Rule in this manner, great art thou' contains \[the word\] 'great.' For great indeed is this day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki.2.14) - [Next: 2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki.2.16) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki~en-mt.2.15) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Śāṅkhāyanaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.sankhayana.18.18.12) — Śāṅkhāyana, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki.2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.kausitaki.2.15) · Pramāṇa
