Again the Mahāvrata is fixed there where they approach the Caturviṅça; the Bṛhat is in its place the Pṛṣṭha of the Mahāvrata; therefore (they say) ‘Let the Bṛhat be the Pṛṣṭha of this (day).’ It has the word ‘together’; the year is uttered around about. There are in its verses the following symbols. ‘The Hotṛ is born, the wise’ is the Ājya of eight verses in Gāyatrī metre; the Stoma is in Gāyatrī metre; that Çastra is perfect which accords with the Stoma. The Praüga is of Madhuchandas; it is perfect; in its model are other Praügas shaped, (thinking) ‘May I have accomplished a rite successful from the beginning.’ ‘Thee like a car for aid’ is the strophe of the Marutvatīya; ‘This drink, O bright one, is pressed’ is the antistrophe. This is the regular one-day form; the explanation of it has been given. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 19.5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.5.21) - [Next: 19.5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.5.23) - [Up: 19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.5) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.19.p15) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.19.5.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.5.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.19.5.22) · Pramāṇa
