Of these two triplets there are six syllables over, and six of the strophe and antistrophe of the Agniṣṭoma Sāman; these twelve syllables the Hotṛ should make up in the morning litany. He need not trouble as to this; it is made up here. 'There is an Uṣṇih additional,' we hold, 'or a Gāyatrī; that he should make up at the morning litany.' He need not trouble about this; it is made up here. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 27.2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.2.12) - [Next: 27.2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.2.14) - [Up: 27.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.2) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.27.p7) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.27.2.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.2.13) · Pramāṇa
