The syllable \*om\* is the third with the last two; so is it recited by half verses. He recites the service to Agni; thus he obtains this world; he recites that to Uṣas; verily thus he obtains the world of the atmosphere; he recites that to the Açvins; verily thus he obtains yonder world. He recites a Gāyatrī; the Gāyatrī is the mouth; he recites an Anuṣṭubh; the Anuṣṭubh is speech; thus he places speech in the mouth; by the mouth he utters speech. He recites a Triṣṭubh; the Triṣṭubh is might and strength; verily thus he places might and strength in the sacrificer. He recites a Bṛhatī; the Bṛhatī is cows and horses; he recites a Uṣṇih; the Uṣṇih is sheep and goats; he recites a Jagatī; the Jagatī is might and strength; the Triṣṭubh is might and strength in the front; the Jagatī is might and strength behind; > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 11.2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.11.2.13) - [Next: 11.2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.11.2.15) - [Up: 11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.11.2) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.11.p5) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.11.2.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.11.2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.11.2.14) · Pramāṇa
