Now, Agni is the Lord of vows among the gods,--it is to him therefore that he resorts (Vâg. S. IV, 16; Rig-veda VIII, II, 7): 'Thou, O Agni, art the divine guardian of vows among men, to whom praise is due at the sacrifices.' This, then, is his atonement for that (transgression); and thus that fault is not committed by him, and he does not break his vow: therefore he says, 'Thou, O Agni, art the divine guardian of vows among men, to whom praise is due at the sacrifices.' > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 3.2.2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.23) - [Next: 3.2.2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.25) - [Up: 3.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2) ## 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.3.2.2.24) — 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) - [A Vedic Concordance](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c6.3628) — Bloomfield 1906, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.24) · Pramāṇa
