6.5.4.2

taṃ vā adityā khanati | iyaṃ vā aditirno vā ātmātmānaṃ hinastyahiṃsāyai yadanyayā devatayā khaneddhiṃsyāddhainam

He digs him out with (the help of) Aditi, in order to guard him from injury; for Aditi is this earth, and one does not injure one's own self; but were he to dig with (the help of) another deity, he surely would injure him (Agni).

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