He lays them down by twelves,--for the Gagatî consists of twelve syllables, and the Gagatî is cattle, and the middlemost layer is the air: he thus places cattle in the air, whence cattle have their abode in the air.

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