Now Vâyu, indeed, is yonder blowing (wind); it is he that makes swell whatever rain falls here. But it is by the rain that plants grow; and on the plants being eaten and the water drunk, milk is produced out of that water. Hence it is he (Vâyu) that produces it; and for this reason it is (offered) to Vâyu. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 2.6.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.3.6) - [Next: 2.6.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.3.8) - [Up: 2.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.3) ## 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.2.6.3.7) — 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 (1) - [Altindische Grammatik](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.wackernagel-1896.v3.c9.2865) — Wackernagel & Debrunner 1896, German --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.2.6.3.7) · Pramāṇa
