In 'He who with heroes winneth the light' there is a reference to the Maruts in 'with heroes'. 'He who strong with the strong in one dwelling' is in normal Triṣṭubh and supports the pressing; the explanation of this has been given. There is repetition in 'Strong with the strong'; the sixth day is the end; having gone to the end, he repeats as it were, for hence whitherward should he go? 'O Indra, generous, with the Maruts' is the Marutvatīya; it is in Gāyatrī, for this set of three days has the Gāyatrī at the midday pressing. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 23.10.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.23.10.7) - [Next: 23.10.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.23.10.9) - [Up: 23.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.23.10) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.23.p13) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.23.10.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.23.10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.23.10.8) · Pramāṇa
