So by him yonder Soma, the king, the discerning, the moon, the food, is eaten, that food yonder which the gods eat. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 12.6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.12.6.10) - [Next: 12.6.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.12.6.12) - [Up: 12.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.12.6) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.12.p12) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.12.6.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.12.6.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.12.6.11) · Pramāṇa
