But if, setting aside the Udgâtri, he chooses the horse for (performing) the Udgîtha, it is just as when one who knows the country leads on the right way: the horse leads the Sacrificer rightly to the heavenly world. It makes 'Hiṅ,' and thereby makes the. Sâman itself to be 'hiṅ': this is the Udgîtha. They pen up mares, (and on seeing the horse) they utter a shrill sound: as when the chanters sing, such like is this. The priests’ fee is gold weighing a hundred (grains): the mystic import of this has been explained. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 13.2.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.13.2.3.1) - [Next: 13.2.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.13.2.4.1) - [Up: 13.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.13.2.3) ## Translations (1) - [The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina~en-eggeling.13.2.3.2) — Julius Eggeling 1882, English ## Commentaries (2) - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Harisvāmin)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!harisvamin) — Harisvāmin, Sanskrit - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Sāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!sayana) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit ## Discussed in (4) - [Vedic Index of Names and Subjects](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s11.989) — Macdonell & Keith 1912, English - [India as Known to Pāṇini: A Study of the Cultural Material in the Ashṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c9.s6.18) — Agrawala 1953, English - [Chandragupta Maurya and His Times](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.mookerji-1943.c16.s1.2) — Mookerji 1943, English - [Lectures on Ancient Indian Numismatics (Carmichael Lectures, 1921)](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.bhandarkar-1921.c7.31) — Bhandarkar 1921, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.13.2.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.13.2.3.2) · Pramāṇa
