### [14.7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.14.7.16)

tad yad abhiprāyuñjata /

> Indra desired ‘Let me have a share in the morning pressing, also in the third pressing.’ The All-gods desired, ‘Let us have a share in the midday pressing, also in the morning pressing.’ These deities thenceforward extended the morning pressing from the third pressing; in that they extended (\_abhiprāyuñjata\_), that is why the Praüga has its name. Therefore many deities are praised at the Praüga; therefore all the pressings have all the deities. Having recited the hymn , ‘With all the sweet Soma drink’, he utters the offering verse for the All-gods, for the hymn is for the All-gods; in Gāyatrī, the morning pressing is connected with the Gāyatrī. He should recite the second \_vaṣaṭ\_.
