4.3.2

ehi ha vā eṣa yajña pathāt /

iv. 3. Next as to the Abhyuddṛṣṭā sacrifice. He wanders from the path of the sacrifice at whose fast the moon is seen in the west. He offers to Agni, maker of paths, a cake on eight potsherds; Agni is the maker of paths; verily he sets him again on the path of the sacrifice. To Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, (he offers a cake) on eleven potsherds; Indra is the slayer of Vṛtra; verily he sets him again on the path of the sacrifice. To Vaiçvānara (he offers a cake) on twelve potsherds; he who yonder gives heat is Vaiçvānara; verily he sets him again on the path of the sacrifice. In that he sacrifices to these deities, (it is because he thinks) ‘Let me not wander from the path of the sacrifice.’ The sacrificial fee is a pair of shoes and a staff; that is the symbol of fearlessness.
