yajñena vai devāḥ | divamupodakrāmannatha yo 'yaṃ devaḥ paśūnāmīṣṭe sa ihāhīyata tasmādvāstavya ityāhurvāstau hi tadahīyata
Now by means of the sacrifice the gods ascended to heaven. But the god who rules over the cattle was left behind here: hence they call him Vâstavya, for he was then left behind on the (sacrificial) site (vâstu).
