Aitareya Brahmana

Aitareya Brahmana

The Aitareya Brahmana (AB) is the Brahmana associated with the Rigveda in the Shakala shakha.

It is also known as the Ashvalayana Brahmana. It is believed to have been composed around 600 BC and is perhaps the oldest Brahmana. It deals principally with Soma sacrifices.
