Now Agni's cake (is offered), for the sole purpose that it may not forsake the sacrifice. Then those two, Mitra and Varuna, are two deities, and two means a pair: hence a productive pair is thereby obtained; and thus is (produced) that form (of the sacrifice) whereby he becomes many, whereby he is reproduced. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.4.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.9) - [Next: 2.4.4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.11) - [Up: 2.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4) ## 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.2.4.4.10) — Julius Eggeling 1882, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Sāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!sayana) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.10) · Pramāṇa
