Kauṣītaki (Śāṅkhāyana) Brāhmaṇa 30.9.30

30.9.30

avīryo ha vā u sa praiṣo yo apuronuvākhyaḥ /

explanation of this has been given. He recites a Triṣṭubh as invitatory verse for (the cup) for the yoker of the bays; the explanation of this has been given. In that he recites an invitatory verse for the Atipraiṣa, (it is because) without strength is the Praiṣa which has no invitatory verse. Moreover there are invitatory verses in the case of (the cups) for two deities, and in the case of all the Prasthitas; therefore he recites an invitatory verse for it. ‘In that he recites an Atipraiṣa, verily thus he refers to the next day, verily thus they keep taking hold of the next day’ Kauṣītaki used to say.
