The offering verse contains (the words) 'be drunk', for the third pressing is connected with 'be drunk'. He says the second vaṣaṭ for the healing of the libations, for the support of the libations. He should take the most of the grains; the grains are cattle; verily thus he confers a multitude of cattle upon himself. In that they mutter the Ṛc, in that they offer the libation, verily thus they produce a benediction, for the healing of the sacrifice, and for the curing of the sacrificer. They cast them down on the ash border of the Āhavanīya; the Āhavanīya is the birthplace of cattle; verily thus he places them in a secure fold. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 18.5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.12) - [Next: 18.5.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.14) - [Up: 18.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.18.p13) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.18.5.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.13) · Pramāṇa
