Kauṣītaki (Śāṅkhāyana) Brāhmaṇa 14.7.23

14.7.23

anv id u vaṣaṭ karavad anvid u vaṣaṭ karavat / (soma: prātaḥ savana)

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_.
