5.3.3.3
athāgnaye gṛhapataye | aṣṭākapālam puroḍāśaṃ nirvapatyāśūnāṃ śrīrvai gārhapataṃ yāvato-yāvata īṣṭe tadenamagnireva gṛhapatirgārhapatamabhi pariṇayatyatha yadāśūnāṃ kṣipre mā pariṇayāniti
For Agni Grihapati (the house-lord) he then prepares a cake on eight potsherds from quick-grown (âsu) rice; for the house-lord's position means prosperity: as much as he (the king) rules over, over that Agni, the house-lord, leads him to hold the position of a master of the house. And as to its being of quick-grown rice: 'May they quickly lead me!' so he thinks.
