They accordingly assigned that share to them, to wit, the cake on one potsherd offered to heaven and earth. This is why there is a cake on one potsherd (kapâla) for heaven and earth. Now this (earth) is, doubtless, the cup (depository, kapâla) of that (sap); and she indeed is one only: hence (the cake) consists of one potsherd. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.4.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.7) - [Next: 2.4.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.9) - [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.2.4.3.8) — 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.2.4.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.3.8) · Pramāṇa
