5.12.10

upā́vasr̥ja tmányā samañján devā́nāṃ pā́tha r̥tuthā́ havī́ṃṣi |
vánaspátiḥ śamitā́ devó agníḥ svádantu havyáṃ mádhunā ghr̥téna ||10||

In thy way (? tmányā) anointing them, pour thou down upon (upa-ava-sṛj) the track of the gods the oblations in due season; let the forest-tree, the queller (çamitár), god Agni, relish (svad) the oblation with honey, with ghee.
'Forest-tree,' doubtless a big name for the sacrificial post. That the 'queller' is a separate personage is shown by the plural number of the following verb. ⌊E. Sieg discusses pā́thas, Gurupūjakaumudī, 97 ff.; later, Oldenberg, ZDMG. liv. 602.⌋
