And in like manner does he (the sacrificer) thereby obtain offspring. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 3.4.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.4.3.3) - [Next: 3.4.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.4.3.5) - [Up: 3.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.4.3) ## 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.3.4.3.4) — 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) - [The Religions of India](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.hopkins-1895.c15.22) — Hopkins 1895, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.4.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.4.3.4) · Pramāṇa
