Now, twofold indeed is this (universe),--there is no third,--the truth and the untruth: the gods are the truth and men are the untruth. And gold having sprung from Agni's seed, he ties the gold to this (finger), in order that he may touch the twigs (of the Soma) with the truth, that he may handle the Soma by means of the truth. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 3.3.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.3.2.1) - [Next: 3.3.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.3.2.3) - [Up: 3.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.3.2) ## 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.3.3.2.2) — 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) - [Indian Philosophy](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.radhakrishnan-1923.v1.c8.s13.4) — Radhakrishnan 1923, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.3.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.3.2.2) · Pramāṇa
