10.1.1.10

eṣo atrāpītiḥ na ha vā asyāputratāyai kā cana śaṅkā bhavati ya evametau mithunāvātmānaṃ cāgniṃ ca vedānnaṃ ha tvevāyamātmā dakṣiṇānnaṃ vanute yo na ātmeti hyapyṛṣiṇābhyuktam

This also is the entering therein;--there is indeed no fear of him (Agni) being without offspring to whosoever thus knows these two, the body and Agni, to be a pair; but, indeed, this body is food, as is said by the Rishi (Rig-veda X, 107, 7), 'The Dakshinâ winneth food which is our own self (breath).'

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