About The Book: This book provides a detailed examination and translation of two significant Rigveda Brahmanas: the Aitareya and Kausītaki Brāhmanas. It begins with a comparison of the contents of the two Brahmanas, followed by an analysis of their relations, composition, and dates. The text explores their relationship to prominent figures like Panini, Yaska, and Q&kalya, as well as their absence of reference to metempsychosis and political references. Additionally, it discusses their relation to other Brahmana texts, including Apastamba, and examines astronomical data to determine their dates. The book further delves into the rituals described in the Brahmanas, such as the Soma sacrifice and the R&jasUya, along with insights into language, style, and meter. It concludes with discussions on commentaries, editions, and comprehensive translations of both the Aitareya and Kausītaki Brahmanas, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of these important texts.
