Now Pragâpati is the year, since the sacrifice is Pragâpati; and the year is day and night, since these two revolving produce it. He has been consecrated during the day, and he has gained the night: as great as the sacrifice is, as great as is its extent, to that extent has he gained it before he breaks silence. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 3.2.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.3) - [Next: 3.2.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.5) - [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.3.2.2.4) — 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) - [Vāstu-śāstra (Vol. I: Hindu Science of Architecture; Vol. II: Hindu Canons of Iconography and Painting)](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.shukla-1960.v2.c75.s1.26) — Shukla 1958, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.2.2.4) · Pramāṇa
