They are of udumbara wood, and fresh, and remain for a whole night (being) soaked in ghee: the significance of this has been explained. \[He puts them on, with, Vâg. S. XVII, 50-52\], 'Upwards lead thou him, O Agni!... Forward lead thou him, O Indra!... In whose house we make offering...,' as the text, so the meaning. Three pieces of firewood he puts on,--threefold is Agni: as great as Agni is, as great as is his measure, with so much food he thus regales him. Three oblations he offers,--that makes six: the significance of this has been explained. > — Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44) - [Previous: 9.2.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.9.2.2.6) - [Next: 9.2.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.9.2.3.1) - [Up: 9.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.9.2.2) ## 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.9.2.2.7) — Julius Eggeling 1882, English ## Commentaries (2) - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Harisvāmin)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!harisvamin) — Harisvāmin, Sanskrit - [Śatapathabrāhmaṇabhāṣya (Sāyaṇa)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha*madhyandina!sayana) — Sāyaṇa, Sanskrit ## Discussed in (1) - [A Vedic Concordance](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c6.1877) — Bloomfield 1906, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.9.2.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.satapatha.9.2.2.7) · Pramāṇa
