The Praüga is a litany of the cups; nine cups are drawn in the morning; with nine (verses) do they sing in the Bahiṣpavamāna (Stotra); when the Stoma has been performed, he draws the tenth; the sound \*hiṅ\* of the other (verses) is the tenth; thus is there equality. (A triplet ) to Vāyu he recites; thereby has the Vāyu (cup) its litany. (A triplet ) to Indra and Vāyu he recites; thereby has (the cup) for Indra and Vāyu its litany. (A triplet ) for Mitra and Varuṇa he recites; thereby has (the cup) for Mitra and Varuṇa its litany. (A triplet ) for the Açvins he recites; thereby has (the cup) for the Açvins its litany. (A triplet ) for Indra he recites; thereby have (the cups) Çukra and Manthin litanies. (A triplet ) for the All-gods he recites; thereby has Āgrayaṇa cup its litany. (A triplet ) for Sarasvatī he recites; there is no cup for Sarasvatī, but Sarasvatī is speech; whatever cups are drawn with speech, they have all litanies recited for him, they become possessed of litanies for him, who knows thus. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 2.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.2.41) - [Next: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.3.2) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.3) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-keith.3.1.p2) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-mt.3.1) — English, machine translation ## Commentaries (1) - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Vedārthaprakāśa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!sayana.13.p2) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.3.1) · Pramāṇa
