Nevertheless let both (the cake and karu) consist of new (grain); for (by the very fact that) the one is a cake and the other a pap, the nobility is not equalled (by the people): hence they should both consist of new (grain). > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.4.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.6) - [Next: 2.4.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.8) - [Up: 2.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3) ## 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.2.4.3.7) — 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 --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.7) · Pramāṇa
