It belongs to Vâyu, because Vâyu is the out-breathing; and to Niyutvat, because the teams are the in-breathing: he thus puts the out-breathing and in-breathing into him. It is white, because Vâyu (the wind) is white; and it is hornless, because Vâyu is hornless. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 6.2.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.6.2.2.6) - [Next: 6.2.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.6.2.2.8) - [Up: 6.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.6.2.2) ## 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.6.2.2.7) — 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.6.2.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.6.2.2.7) · Pramāṇa
