Then turning to the left, they approach the Somas in the waters; they place them here within the altar, for that is the abode of the Soma; they distribute the branches of Darbha grass; when the waters and the plants come together, then the Soma is complete. With a verse to Viṣṇu they pour them down; Viṣṇu is the sacrifice; verily thus they establish them at the end in the sacrifice. Then they stroke the vital organs; verily thus they make whole whatever here has been ill-treated or injured of the vital organs, they cure it. They make enclosures for the food; verily thus the food of the gods they sever from the food of man. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 18.5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.21) - [Next: 18.5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.23) - [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.p17) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.18.5.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.18.5.22) · Pramāṇa
