Prajāpati practised fervour; he, having practised fervour, developed from his expiration this world, from his inspiration the world of the atmosphere, from his cross-breathing yonder world. He practised fervour over these three worlds; from this world he created Agni, from the world of the atmosphere Vāyu, from the sky Āditya. He practised fervour over these three lights; from Agni he created the Ṛc verses, from Vāyu the Yajus formulae, from Āditya the Sāmans. He practised fervour over the threefold lore; he stretched out the sacrifice; he recited with the Ṛc, he proceeded with the Yajus, he sang with the Sāman. He developed the sap of the brilliance of this threefold lore, for the healing of these Vedas; he developed \*bhūḥ\* of the Ṛcs, \*bhuvaḥ\* of the Yajuses, and \*svar\* of the Sāmans. On the south side of Ka was the Brahman, the sacrifice of Ka ended as broader to the south and sloping to the north; his sacrifice ends as broader to the south and sloping to the north, whose is a Brahman who knows thus. - [Previous: 6.p13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6.p13) - [Next: 6.p15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6.p15) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6) ## Linked texts (1) - [Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.6.4.1) — Kauṣītaki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6.p14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki~en-keith.6.p14) · Pramāṇa
