Now there is the Anuṣṭubh of the gods ; eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve Ādityas, Indra as the thirty-second; so the Anuṣṭubh of the deities becomes of thirty-two parts. Now the fifty-five taken out are forty-four Paṅkti verses; the forty of these are the udder, the four over the teats; thus the Anuṣṭubh of the Stoma and the syllables with this udder and these teats pours over this body of Indra, the fast day; by reason of the pouring over of it the Chandomas increase both as regards Stomas and Çastras; he who knows it becomes composed thereof; he who knows thus before his life (is over) becomes master of this body of Indra, the fast day ; him this Anuṣṭubh of the Stoma and the syllables with this udder, these teats, with all flavours, all delights, all proper food, all immortality besprinkles, who recites the tenth day (rite) as thus made up. 'Therefore should he recite the tenth day (rite) as thus made up,' (they say). > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 27.5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.5.21) - [Next: 27.5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.5.23) - [Up: 27.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.5) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.27.p11) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.27.5.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.5.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.5.22) · Pramāṇa
