5.1.1.11
sa vā eṣa brāhmaṇasyaiva yajñaḥ | yadenena bṛhaspatirayajata brahma hi bṛhaspatirbrahma hi brāhmaṇo 'tho rājanyasya yadenenendro 'yajata kṣatraṃ hīndraṃ kṣatraṃ rājanyaḥ
Now truly this (the Vâgapeya) is the Brâhmana's own sacrifice, inasmuch as Brihaspati (the lord of prayer and devotion) performed it; for Brihaspati is the Brahman (priesthood, or priestly dignity), and the Brâhmana is the Brahman. And it is also that of the Râganya, inasmuch as Indri performed it; for Indra is the Kshatra (nobility, or ruling power), and the Râganya is the Kshatra.
