3.6.2.9

hiraṇmayyorha kuśyorantaravahita āsa | te ha sma kṣurapavī nimeṣaṃ nimeṣamabhisaṃdhatto dīkṣātapasau haiva te āsatustamete gandharvāḥ somarakṣā jugupurime dhiṣṇyā imā hotrāḥ

He was enclosed between two golden cups; sharp-edged they closed together at every twinkling of the eye; and these two, forsooth, were Consecration and Penance. Those Gandharva Soma-wardens watched over him; they are these hearths, these fire-priests.

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