The Gods having praised the pressing stones with the Arbuda (hymn ) and the verses for (Soma), the purifying, obtained immortality, obtained truth and resolve. Verily thus also the sacrificer in that he praises the pressing stones with the Arbuda (hymn) and the verses for (Soma), the purifying, obtains immortality, obtains truth and resolve. When the Pavamāna has been sung, they proceed with the pot of milk, for this is the time for it; moreover (it serves) to give the pressing sap. Then they proceed with the set of five oblations; the explanation of this has been given. At the midday he utters a verse of Bharadvāja’s as the offering verse for the Prasthitas; at the midday Bharadvāja gave Soma to Indra. It is a Triṣṭubh verse, addressed to Indra; the midday pressing is connected with Indra and the Triṣṭubh. He says the second \_vaṣaṭ\_, for the healing of the libations, for the support of the libations. Then the Hotrakas sacrifice together; the explanation of these (offerings) has been given; then come the sacrificial food and the Hotṛ’s bowl; the explanation of that has been given. When the Dakṣiṇā offerings have been made, the fees are taken, for then the pressing stops. Moreover he ransoms himself in that the fees are taken; moreover with the fees he makes strong the sacrifice; in that with the fees he makes strong (\_dakṣayati\_) the sacrifice, therefore has the fee its name. The Sattra has the self as the Dakṣiṇā; therefore day by day should they mutter, ‘Here let me take myself as a fee for fair fame, for the world of heaven, > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 15.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.15.1.2) - [Next: 15.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.15.1.4) - [Up: 15.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.15.1) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.15.p3) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.15.1.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.15.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.15.1.3) · Pramāṇa
