On the range of the Retahsik (they are placed); for the Retahsik are these two (worlds): it is within these two (worlds) that he thus places the wind; whence there is wind within these two (worlds). He places them on every side: he thus places wind on all sides, whence the wind is everywhere. \[He places them so as\] on every side to run in the same direction: he thus makes the wind everywhere (to blow) in the same direction, whence, having become united, it blows from all quarters in the same direction. He lays them down alongside of the regional (bricks): he thereby places the wind in the regions, whence there is wind in all the regions. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 8.2.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.8.2.3.1) - [Next: 8.2.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.8.2.3.3) - [Up: 8.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.8.2.3) ## 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.8.2.3.2) — Julius Eggeling 1882, English ## Commentaries (2) - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Sāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!sayana.295.2) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Harisvāmin)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!harisvamin) — Harisvāmin, Sanskrit ## Discussed in (1) - [India as Known to Pāṇini: A Study of the Cultural Material in the Ashṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c9.s6.17) — Agrawala 1953, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.8.2.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.8.2.3.2) · Pramāṇa
