These are twelve exactly. Having begun the pressing with the Jagatī they have found support on the Jagatī. This is what is placed in the middle. If he uses here a transposed metre, still the metres are in order and carry the sacrifice of him who knows thus. ‘Moreover the following verse has been declared’, he used to say, ‘That the Gāyatrī is deposited on the Gāyatrī, or that they fashioned the Triṣṭubh from the Triṣṭubh, or that the Jagatī Pada is placed on the Jagatī, they who know this obtain immortality.’ In that these deities are fixed on these worlds, Agni as connected with the Gāyatrī here is fixed in this world of the Gāyatrī, Vāyu as connected with the Triṣṭubh is fixed in the world of the atmosphere connected with the Triṣṭubh; yonder sun as connected with the Jagatī is fixed in yonder world connected with the Jagatī. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) _First 30 of 33 passages.
