6.5.3.9
aśvaśakairdhūpayati | prājāpatyo vā aśvaḥ prajāpatiragnirno vā ātmātmānaṃ hinastyahiṃsāyai tadvai śaknaiva taddhi jagghaṃ yātayāma tatho ha naivāśvaṃ hinasti netarānpaśūn
He fumigates it with horse-dung, to insure it against injury; for the horse is sacred to Pragâpati, and Pragâpati is Agni, and one does not injure one's own self. And with dung (he does it) because that is what was eaten (by the horse) and is useless; and thus he does not injure the horse itself, nor the other cattle.
