Now they knew that he was coming to them after studying the sacrifice for their sake. They said, 'Verily, with the gods (saha devaih) he has come to us who has come after studying the sacrifice:' thus he (was called) Sahadeva Sârñgaya; and even now the saying is, 'Lo, Suplan has taken another name!' He performed that sacrifice; and what race and prosperity of the Sriñgayas was then produced through his performing that sacrifice, that same race he procreates, that same prosperity he obtains, whosoever, knowing this, performs that sacrifice: let him, therefore, perform that sacrifice. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.4.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.3) - [Next: 2.4.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.4.4.6) - [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.2.4.4.4) — Julius Eggeling 1882, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Sāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!sayana) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Vedic Index of Names and Subjects](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.435) — Arthur A.
