If the fire is kindled, the model is the framework of the Vaiçvadeva; if it is not kindled, then the model is the full moon sacrifice; the full moon sacrifice is a support; verily (it serves) for support. In that the fire is kindled, the explanation of that has been given. In that there are seventeen kindling verses, the butter portions contain the word 'being', and the invitatory and offering verses are Virāj verses, the explanation of that has been given. In that there are nine fore-offerings, nine after-offerings, eight oblations and the Sviṣṭakṛt as the ninth, thus he attains the brilliance of the Nakṣatras. The five accompanying oblations ending with that for Pūṣan are the same; the explanation of them has been given. In that he sacrifices to Çunāsīrau, and Çunāsīrau are healing and medicine, verily thus at the end in the sacrifice are healing and medicine produced. In that he sacrifices to Vāyu, and Vāyu is breath, verily thus he delights breath. In that there is (a cake) on one potsherd for Sūrya, and he yonder that gives heat is Sūrya, verily thus he delights him. In that the sacrificial fee is a white (cow ), verily thus he delights him; verily thus is his form produced. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 5.10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.5.10.8) - [Next: 5.10.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.5.10.10) - [Up: 5.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.5.10) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.5.p18) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.5.10.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.5.10.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.5.10.9) · Pramāṇa
