The Aṅgirases sacrificed for the Ādityas; to them as sacrificing for them, they gave this earth full of fees; being accepted it caused them to burn; they cast her away; she becoming a lioness with gaping jaws assailed men. Of her as she burned came forth thin fissures which are now upon her; aforetime she was all even, as it were. Therefore they say ‘He shall not accept a gift laid aside’, (thinking) ‘Let it not, being pierced with heat, pierce me with heat.’ But if he should accept it, he should give it to a hated rival; he is ruined. Now as to yonder sun: he having taken the form of a white horse with its body bound with a horse halter went (to. them) (saying) ‘This we bring (as a fee) for you.’ Thus is the Devanītha recited, > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘The Ādityas, O singer, brought a fee to the Aṅgirases; > This, O singer, they did not approach’; > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > for they did not approach the (earth). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘But this, O singer, they did approach’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > for they did approach yonder (sun). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘This, O singer, they did not accept,’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > for they did not accept this (earth). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘But this, O singer, they did accept,’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > for they did accept yonder (sun). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘Lest the days be without discrimination’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > he is the discriminator of the days. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘Without a leader the sacrifices’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > the fee is the leader of the sacrifices; just as in this world a wagon without a leader comes to harm, so the sacrifice without a fee comes to harm; therefore they say ‘At the sacrifice a fee should be given, if but a small one.’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > ‘White and swift of motion, > And most rapid of foot, > Swiftly it accomplisheth its purpose; > The Ādityas, Rudras, Vasus praise thee, > This gift do thou accept, O Aṅgiras’; > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > Verily thus they sought acceptance of their gift. ‘This gift, great and broad, Let the gods give as a boon, Let that be pleasing to you, Given be it day by day, Do ye accept it.’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) > Verily thus they accepted it.
