4.3.1.12

ṛtuneti vai devāḥ | manuṣyānasṛjantartubhiriti paśūntsa yattanmadhye yena paśūnasṛjanta tasmādime paśava ubhayataḥ parigṛhītā vaśamupetā manuṣyāṇām

By 'With the season' the gods forsooth created the men, and by 'With the seasons' the beasts; and because they created the beasts in the middle of those (men), therefore these beasts (cattle), being shut in on both sides, have come into the power of men.

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