2.1.2.7

rohiṇyāmu ha vai paśavaḥ | agnī ādadhire manuṣyāṇāṃ kāmaṃ rohemeti te manuṣyāṇāṃ kāmamarohanyamu haiva tatpaśavo manuṣyeṣu kāmamarohaṃstamu haiva paśuṣu kāmaṃ rohati ya evaṃ vidvānrohiṇyāmādhatte

Under Rohinî, indeed, the cattle set up their fires, thinking that they might attain to (ruh) the desire (or love) of men. They did attain to the desire of men; and whatever desire the cattle then obtained in regard to men, that same desire he obtains, in regard to cattle, whosoever, knowing this, sets up his fire under Rohinî.
