He who offers when the sun has risen thus offers hospitality to the great god when gone on a journey. He who offers when the sun has not risen, thus offers hospitality to the great god when close at hand. Therefore the offering should be made when the sun has not risen. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 2.7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.2.7.15) - [Next: 2.8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.2.8.1) - [Up: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.2.7) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.2.p14) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.2.7.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.2.7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.2.7.16) · Pramāṇa
