A sixth time he grasped him; he said to him, ‘Why doest thou grasp me?’ He replied, ‘Give me a sixth name, for with five names only I shall not eat food here.’ He answered, ‘Thou art Rudra.’ Since the moon is Rudra, thereby Rudra harms him not, nor his offspring, nor his cattle, nor any one claiming to be his. He who hates him becomes worse, not he who knows thus. His vow is ‘What is deformed one should not eat, nor the narrow.’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 6.3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.18) - [Next: 6.3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.20) - [Up: 6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6.p9) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.6.3.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.19) · Pramāṇa
