They say ‘The Ṛc which he uses in the morning as offering verse is wearied for that day; then how is it fresh in all the pressings?’ In that he continues to carry on with the pressings, (saying) ‘In the morning, (the cakes) of the morning pressing’, at the morning pressing, ‘Those of the midday pressing’, at the midday pressing, ‘Those of the third pressing’, at the third pressing, thereby is it fresh . They say ‘Why in the morning only is there a milk mess, and not in the midday or at the third pressing?’ ‘The Maitrāvaruṇa is the sacrifice; the sacrifice is born at the morning pressing; a young boy’s portion is milk; this is as if one should give the breast to a child on birth; it is old at the other two pressings; when one grows one is past the breast then. Therefore in the morning only is there a milk mess, and not in the midday nor at the third pressing’ (is the answer). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 13.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.13.1.21) - [Next: 13.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.13.1.23) - [Up: 13.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.13.1) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.13.p6) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.13.1.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.13.1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.13.1.22) · Pramāṇa
