In the middle of the rains, with regard to the Nakṣatra, the Punarvasūs, he should re-establish (the fires) (saying) 'May riches and wealth again come to me.' Thus (it serves) for the winning of a repeated desire. In this period (the new moon) does not in the first half (of the month) come into conjunction with the Punarvasūs. On the new moon which follows after (full moon) in the Aṣāḍhās should he re-establish; it is in conjunction with the Punarvasūs. The desire is obtained that is in the new moon, there is obtained that in the rains, there is obtained that in the Punarvasūs; therefore on that day should he re-establish. The cake is offered on five potsherds; the Paṅkti has five feet; the sacrifice is fivefold; (so it serves) to obtain the sacrifice. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 1.3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.3.23) - [Next: 1.3.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.3.25) - [Up: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.3) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.1.p6) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.1.3.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.3.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.3.24) · Pramāṇa
