- यूषन्नवधाय प्रोर्णोति रसो वा एष पशूनां यद् यू रसमेव पशुषु दधाति
- yūṣánnavadhā́ya prórṇoti ráso vā́ eṣá paśūnā́ṃ yád yū́ rásamevá paśúṣu dadhāti.
- He covers (the cattle) after putting (the fat) on the soup; the soup [represents] the sap of cattle; thus he bestows sap upon cattle.
- यूषन्नवधाय प्रोर्णोति रसो वा एष पशूनां यद् यू रसमेव पशुषु दधाति
- c. 700 BCE, Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 3.8.3.20:
- अथ वसाहोमं गृह्णाति । रेडसीति लेलयेव हि यूस् तस्मादाह रेडसीत्यग्निष्ट्वा श्रीणात्वित्यग्निर्ह्येतच्छ्रपयति तस्मादाहाग्निष्ट्वा श्रीणात्वित्यापस्त्वा समरिणन्नित्यापो ह्येतमङ्गेभ्यो रसं सम्भरन्ति तस्मादाहापस्त्वा समरिणन्निति

- He then takes the oblation of gravy [and says to it] "Thou art trembling", for quivering [due to being boiled], as it were, is the broth: hence he says, "Thou art trembling;" -- "May Agni prepare thee!", for the fire does indeed cook it: hence he says, "May Agni prepare thee!", "The waters have washed thee together," for the water indeed gathers together that (fat) juice from the limbs: hence he says, "The waters have washed thee together."
- अथ वसाहोमं गृह्णाति । रेडसीति लेलयेव हि यूस् तस्मादाह रेडसीत्यग्निष्ट्वा श्रीणात्वित्यग्निर्ह्येतच्छ्रपयति तस्मादाहाग्निष्ट्वा श्रीणात्वित्यापस्त्वा समरिणन्नित्यापो ह्येतमङ्गेभ्यो रसं सम्भरन्ति तस्मादाहापस्त्वा समरिणन्निति
- c. 700 BCE, Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 3.8.3.25:

- atha yad yūṣ pariśiṣyate . tatsamavattadhānyāmānayati taddhṛdayaṃ prāsyati jihvāṃ vakṣastanima matasne vaniṣṭhumathopariṣṭāddvirājyasyābhighārayati
- The broth which is left he pours into the Samavattadhānī, and therein he throws the heart, tongue, breast, the broad piece (of the back part), the kidneys, and the rectum. He then bastes it twice with ghee above.
