In the first two pressings he inserts (verses) by Parucchepa before the offering verses for the Prasthita libations; the metre of the Parucchepa (verses) is the mounting; by it Indra mounted the seven worlds of heaven; he mounts the seven worlds of heaven, who knows thus. They say ‘Seeing that (verses) of five Padas are a symbol of the fifth day, and (verses) of six Padas of the sixth, then why are (verses) of seven Padas recited on the sixth day?’ By six Padas they make up the sixth day, cutting off as it were the seventh day; that they keep grasping by the seventh Pada. Verily thus they approach speech again, for continuity. With sets of three days, uninterrupted and continuous, they proceed who proceed knowing thus. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5.9) - [Next: 5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5.11) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-keith.5.2.p11) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-mt.5.10) — English, machine translation ## Commentaries (1) - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Vedārthaprakāśa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!sayana.24.p9) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.5.10) · Pramāṇa
