Now as to the renewed anointing. His lordly power is consecrated, who being a Kṣatriya consecrates himself. When he concludes, after coming out of the concluding bath and having offered the final offering of a cow, then they again anoint him when the concluding offering has been completed. For him in advance the following preparation has been made: a throne of Udumbara; its feet should be a span in size, the head (and foot) and the cross (boards) an ell in size, the cover seat of Muñja grass, the spread a tiger skin; a goblet of Udumbara; a branch of Udumbara. In this goblet are poured eight elements; curds, honey, melted butter, the waters of rain during heat, grass and green barley, liquor and Dūrvā grass. Where the line drawn by the sword on the south of the altar is, there he places the throne facing east. Two of its feet are within, two outside the altar. Prosperity is the (earth). What is within the altar is its limited form; what is without the altar is the unlimited space. In that its two feet are within the altar, two outside of the altar, (it serves) to obtain both desires, that which is within the altar and that without the altar. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.8.4) - [Next: 8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.8.6) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya.8) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-keith.8.2.p2) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya~en-mt.8.5) — English, machine translation ## Commentaries (3) - [Aitareyabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Vedārthaprakāśa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!sayana.41.p1) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit - [Sukhapradā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!sadgurusisya) — Ṣaḍguruśiṣya, Sanskrit - [Vedārthaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.aitreya!madhava-alias-sayanacarya) — Mādhava alias Sāyaṇācārya, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (6) - [Mānasāra Series (I.
