Then they proceed with the cup for Savitṛ. At first they offered to him at the morning pressing; offspring were not born; then at the midday pressing; they were not born even then; then at the third pressing they offered to him; then offspring were born. Therefore at the third pressing is Savitṛ fixed. Moreover Savitṛ is one of the Ādityas; the third pressing belongs to the Ādityas; therefore they offer to him at the third pressing. Having recited a Triṣṭubh as the invitatory verse for the cup for Savitṛ, he utters a Jagatī as the offering verse; the Triṣṭubh is might and strength; the Jagatī is cattle; verily thus at the end he finds support in might, in strength, and in cattle. He does not say for it the second vaṣaṭ (thinking) 'The cup for Savitṛ is breath; the second vaṣaṭ call is the completion; let me not before the time complete breath', for breath here is yoked as it were. The offering verse contains (the words) 'be drunk', for the third pressing is connected with 'be drunk'. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 16.2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.16.2.28) - [Next: 16.2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.16.2.30) - [Up: 16.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.16.2) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.16.p6) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.16.2.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.16.2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.16.2.29) · Pramāṇa
