In that he fasts at the new and full moon it is because the gods do not eat the oblation of him who does not perform the fast. Therefore he fasts (desiring) 'May the gods eat my oblation'. 'On the first full moon (day) should he fast' is the view of Paiṅgya; 'on the second' that of Kauṣītaki; 'that on which (the moon) appears (full) about the setting of the sun' is the rule; he should fast on the second full moon day. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 3.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.3) - [Next: 3.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.5) - [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.p2) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.3.1.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.3.1.4) · Pramāṇa
