Kauṣītaki (Śāṅkhāyana) Brāhmaṇa 29.6.8

29.6.8

raivatasya eva ahno rūpeṇa / (soma: hotraka śastrāṇi(mādhyaṃdina savanam))

xxix. 6. The Naudhasa is (the Pṛṣṭha) for the Brāhmaṇācchaṅsin; the explanation of this has been given. In Gāyatrī verses they give the lead for the Brāhmaṇācchaṅsin on the sixth day with the symbol of the Raivata, of the day, to secure the form of the Ahīnas, for the continuity of the Ahīnas, (thinking) 'Undiminished (ahīnān) we secure all desires,' for here is nothing taken away. 'Prayers they have offered up through seeking glory' is the conclusion day by day; the 'Prayers up' hymn is the seasons; verily thus day by day they continue finding support in the seasons. They are six (verses); the seasons are six; verily thus day by day they continue finding support in the seasons.
