He should fast on the second; on the second the ocean swells in accordance with the moon, its deity. The moon is the truth of the gods; therefore should he fast on the second. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 3.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.11) - [Next: 3.1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.13) - [Up: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.3.p3) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.3.1.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.12) · Pramāṇa
