6.3.1.33

prādaśamātrī syāt | prādeśamātraṃ hīdamabhi vāgvadatyaratnimātrī tveva bhavati bāhurvā aratnirbāhuno vai vīryaṃ kriyate vīryasammitaiva tadbhavati

It may be a span long, for the voice here speaks but as far as a span's distance. It is, however, a cubit long, for the cubit is the arm, and strength is exerted by the arm: it thus becomes equal to his strength.

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