The offering and the invitatory verses are Padapaṅktis; the Paṅkti has five feet; the sacrifice is fivefold; verily (they serve) to obtain the sacrifice. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 1.4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.4.12) - [Next: 1.4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.4.14) - [Up: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.4) ## 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.p8) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.1.4.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.1.4.13) · Pramāṇa
