11.5.9.1

prajāpatirha vā eṣa yadaṃśuḥ so'syaiṣa ātmaivātmā hyayam prajāpatirvāgevādābhyaḥ sa yadaṃśuḥ gṛhītvādābhyaṃ gṛhṇātyātmānamevāsyaitatsaṃskṛtya tasminnetāṃ vācam pratiṣṭhāpayati

Now, the Amsu (cup of Soma), indeed, is no other than Pragâpati; and it is the body of this (sacrifice), for Pragâpati, indeed, is the body. And the Adâbhya (cup of Soma) is no other than speech. When he draws the Amsu-cup, and then the Adâbhya-cup, he thereby constructs the body of this (sacrifice) and then establishes that speech therein.

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