11.8.4.1

keśigṛhapatīnāmu ha samrāḍdughāṃ śārdūlo jaghāna sa ha sasattriṇa āmantrayāṃ cakre keha prāyaścittiriti te hocurneha prāyaścittirasti khaṇḍika evaudbhārirasya prāyaścittiṃ veda sa u ta etādṛkcaiva kāmayate'taśca pāpīya iti

Now, once upon a time, a tiger killed the samrâg-cow of those (who were sacrificing) with (the king of the) Kesin as their Grihapati. He (the king) said to his fellow-sacrificers, 'What atonement is there for this?' They replied, 'There is no atonement for this: Khandika Audbhâri alone knows an atonement for it; but he certainly desires as much as this, and worse than this, (to happen) to thee.'

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