A seventh time he grasped him; he said to him, ‘Why dost thou grasp me?’ He replied, ‘Give me a seventh name, for with six names only I shall not eat food here.’ He answered, ‘Thou art Īçāna.’ Since food is Īçāna, thereby Īçāna 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 ‘One should not repulse one who desires food only.’ > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 6.3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.29) - [Next: 6.3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.31) - [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.p10) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.6.3.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.3.30) · Pramāṇa
