It is from the middle (of the victim) that this omentum is pulled out, and from the middle he now completes that (victim) by means of that sacrificial essence and makes it whole; therefore he proceeds with that cake after performing with the omentum. The relation of this (cake to the animal offering), indeed, is one and the same everywhere; that cake is prepared after (and supplementary to) a victim. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 3.8.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.8.3.1) - [Next: 3.8.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.8.3.3) - [Up: 3.8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.8.3) ## 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.3.8.3.2) — 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 --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.8.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.3.8.3.2) · Pramāṇa
