They should not consecrate themselves at this time; the corn has not arrived, the days are short; shivering they come out from the final bath. Therefore they should not consecrate themselves at this time. They should consecrate themselves one day after the new moon of Caitra; the corn has come, the days are long, not shivering do they come out from the final bath. Therefore that is the rule. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 19.2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.2.20) - [Next: 19.2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.2.22) - [Up: 19.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.2) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.19.p8) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.19.2.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.2.21) · Pramāṇa
