3.1.2.18

tasya vā etasya vāsasaḥ | agneḥ paryāso bhavati vāyoranucādo nīviḥ pitṝṇāṃ sarpāṇām praghāto viśveṣāṃ devānāṃ tantava ārokā nakṣatrāṇāmevaṃ hi vā etatsarve devā anvāyattāstasmāddīkṣitavasanam bhavati

Now the woof of this cloth belongs to Agni, and the warp to Vâyu, the thrum to the Fathers, the fore-edge to the snakes, the threads to the All-gods, and the meshes to the asterisms. For thus indeed all the deities are concerned therein; and hence it is the garment of the consecrated.

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