Thus the joint unites; for, indeed, he makes (the Ukthya cup) the first of the second pressing (Soma feast), and the last of the first: that which belongs to the second pressing he makes first, and that which belongs to the first he makes last. Thus he interlocks them; whence these joints are interlocked: this one overlapping thus, and this one thus. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 4.2.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.3.3) - [Next: 4.2.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.3.5) - [Up: 4.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.3) ## 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.4.2.3.4) — 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 --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.4.2.3.4) · Pramāṇa
