Hereby he makes that speech of renewed vigour; whence he speaks therewith in a different way, while yet the same, in order to avoid sameness; for were he to take it with, 'Thou art Âgrayana, thou art Âgrayana,' he would commit (the fault of) sameness: therefore he says, 'Thou art Âgrayana, a good âgrayana.' > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 4.2.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.2.8) - [Next: 4.2.2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.2.10) - [Up: 4.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.2) ## 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.4.2.2.9) — 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) - [A Vedic Concordance](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c6.972) — Bloomfield 1906, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.2.9) · Pramāṇa
