Now he yonder who gives heat is yonder householder, for he is a lord of houses, his houses are the seasons; he is a lord and he is also a god from whom evil has been smitten away. The Adhvaryu runs northward; they close the doors of the Sadas and also of the shed. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 27.9.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.9.12) - [Next: 27.9.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.9.14) - [Up: 27.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.9) ## 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.p14) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.27.9.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.9.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.27.9.13) · Pramāṇa
