The Gâyatrî, forsooth, bears the morning libation (to the gods), the Trishtubh the midday libation, and the Gagatî the evening libation,--but, then, the Trishtubh bears the midday libation, not alone, (but) with both the Gâyatrî and the Brihatî; and the Gagatî (bears) the evening libation, not alone, (but) with the Gâyatrî, the Kakubh, and Ushnih, and the Anushtubh.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
