And when he (the sun) rises, then, in rising, he takes him up and thus he (the sacrificer) escapes that Death. This, then, is the release from death in the Agnihotra: and, verily, he who knows that release from death in the Agnihotra, is freed from death again and again. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.3.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.3.3.8) - [Next: 2.3.3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.3.3.10) - [Up: 2.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.3.3) ## 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.2.3.3.9) — 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 (3) - [The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s10.30) — Keith 1925, English - [The Philosophy of the Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.deussen-1906.c12.s1.t2.78) — Deussen & Geden 1899, English - [Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power in the Indian Theory of Government](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.coomaraswamy-1942.c2.s1.138) — Coomaraswamy 1942, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.3.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.3.3.9) · Pramāṇa
