8.4.4.6

bāhū pañcadaśavatyau | te yatpañcadaśavatyau bhavataḥ pañcadaśau hi bāhū dve bhavato dvau hīmau bāhū pārśvata upadadhāti pārśvato hīmau bāhū

The two containing the Pañkadasa are the arms (or fore-feet). And as to why these are such as contain the Pañkadasa,--the arms are fifteenfold. There are two of them, because these arms are two. He places them on the sides, because these two arms are at the sides.

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