In that he recites the hymn on the second day, (it serves) to discern the sacrifice, to reveal the world of heaven. ‘The might of the swift, strong, ruddy one’ is the beginning of the Āgnimāruta; that which contains (the word) ‘strong’ on the second day is a symbol of the second day. ‘To the strong host, the majestic, the wise’ is (the hymn) to the Maruts; that which contains (the word) ‘strong’ on the second day is a symbol of the second day. ‘To Jātavedas let us pour the Soma’ is the normal verse to Jātavedas. ‘With the sacrifice make Jātavedas to grow’ is (the hymn) to Jātavedas; that which contains (the word) ‘grow’ on the second day is a symbol of the second day. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 4.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.4.31) - [Next: 5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5.1) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.4) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-keith.4.5.p8) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-mt.4.32) — English, machine translation ## Commentaries (1) - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Vedārthaprakāśa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!sayana.22.p43) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.22.4.7) — Kauṣītaki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.4.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.4.32) · Pramāṇa
