Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa ("of a hundred paths") 7.1.1.4

7.1.1.4

akrannimam pitaro lokamasmā iti | kṣatraṃ vai yamo viśaḥ pitaro yasmā u vai kṣatriyo viśā saṃvidāno 'syāmavasānaṃ dadāti tatsudattaṃ tatho hāsmai kṣatraṃ yamo viśā pitṛbhiḥ saṃvidāno 'syāmavasānaṃ dadāti

'The Fathers have prepared this place for him!' for Yama is the Kshatra (nobility, or ruling power), and the Fathers (deceased ancestors) are the clansmen; and to whomsoever the chief (kshatriya), with the approval of the clan, grants a settlement, that (settlement) is properly given: and in like manner does Yama, the ruling power, with the consent of the Fathers, the clan, now grant to this (Sacrificer) a settlement on this earth.
