In the Atharvaveda⁴ a division into ‘the rising sun’ (udyan sūryaḥ), ‘the coming together of the cows’ (saṃgava), ‘midday’ (madhyam-dina), ‘afternoon’ (aparāhṇa), and ‘sunset’ (astam-yan) is found. In the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa⁵ the same series appears with ‘early’ (prātar) and ‘evening’ (sāyaḥna) substituted for the first and last members, while a shorter list gives prātar, saṃgava, sāyam. In the Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā⁶ there is the series ‘dawn’ (uṣas), saṃgava, madhyamdina, and aparāhṇa. - [Previous: v1.c3.829](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.829) - [Next: v1.c3.831](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.831) - [Up: v1.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.830](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.830) · Pramāṇa
