Thrice each one should he repeat; these worlds are three; verily thus he obtains these worlds. They repeated together make up nine; the seasons are six; these worlds are three; verily thus they make up that. He should not say this Nigada in the kindling verses; the Nigadas are omitted; it would be repetition if one were to say this Nigada. ‘He should not invite at all,’ some say; ‘But how without inviting can he say the offering verse for a deity?’ (For this reason). After the Ṛc he should invite with (the invitatory verses), ‘Bring Agni, bring Soma, bring Viṣṇu.’ For these three gods he says the offering verses; these worlds are three; verily thus he makes these worlds full of light. > — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25) - [Previous: 8.9.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.8.9.23) - [Next: 8.9.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.8.9.25) - [Up: 8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.8.9) ## Translations (2) - [Rigveda Brahmanas: The Aitareya and Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇas of the Rigveda (HOS 25)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.8.p18) — Arthur Berriedale Keith 1920, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-mt.8.9.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.8.9.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.8.9.24) · Pramāṇa
