He offers on a road,--for on roads that god roves; he offers on a cross-road,--for the cross-road, indeed, is known to be his (Rudra's) favourite haunt. This is why he offers on a cross-road. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.6.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.2.6) - [Next: 2.6.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.2.8) - [Up: 2.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.2) ## 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.2.6.2.7) — 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 ## Discussed in (4) - [Vedic Index of Names and Subjects](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.747) — Macdonell & Keith 1912, English - [Altindische Grammatik](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.wackernagel-1896.v2.c7.s2.t1.105) — Wackernagel & Debrunner 1896, German - [The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c23.s2.42) — Keith 1925, English - [Die Religion des Veda](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1894.c7.s7.25) — Oldenberg 1894, German --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.2.7) · Pramāṇa
