1.6.4.8

tadvā etat samānameva satpaya eva sadindrasyaiva sattatpunarnānevācakṣate yadabravīddhinoti meti tasmāddadhyatha yadenaṃ śṛtenaivāśrayaṃstasmācūtaṃ

Now although this (mixture of sweet and sour milk) is, indeed, one and the same substance--it being milk (payas) and belonging to Indra--they, nevertheless, declare it to be (two) different (substances). Since he said 'it satiates (dhî) me,' therefore it is sour milk (dadhi); and since they made it agree (sri) with him with boiled milk (or, by boiling), therefore it is (fresh) boiled milk (srita).
