2.5.1.10

atha sāvitraḥ | dvādaśakapālo vāṣṭākapālo vā puroḍāśo bhavati savitā vai devānām prasavitā prajāpatirmadhyataḥ prajanayitā tasmātsāvitro bhavati

Then follows a cake on twelve or eight potsherds for Savitri. Savitri indeed is the impeller (pra-savitri) of the gods; he is Pragâpati, the intermediate progenitor: hence the cake to Savitri.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
