Atharvavedaparishishta 70.4

The distinction, however, is this: one should offer a million oblations with the Sāvitrī verse; / with mind concentrated on the oblations, he should also make the ghee-blanket.

Twelve cows, accompanied by a hundred niṣkas, are to be given; / that being given to the guru appeases an atmospheric portent.

For celestial portents, [the rite] is to be performed by those endowed with ten million oblations; / and a thousand cows are to be given to the guru: this is the rule of the sacrificial fee.

This rule has been properly declared for the celestial, misfortune-bringing calamity, / increasing the nourishment of the subjects through the attainment of abundance of food and security.

In all ten-million oblations, the fruit depends on the variety of materials / for the sake of pacification, prosperity, or sorcery; hear that as I declare it.

Firewood sticks belonging to gentle trees must be prepared by one desiring pacification. / With firewood sticks of arka, kāśmarya, and neem, there is destruction of enemies.

And particularly with firewood sticks of thorny shrubs and durnāman plants, / [and] of broken and split trees, the fruit is the destruction of enemies.

With bilva, lotus, and blue water lily growing in pure places, / a man attains all desires at all times through oblations.

With sesame, unhusked rice, barley, and the like, with curd, honey, and ghee, / with milk, wheat, and rice, the hotṛ priest should undertake the propitiatory rite.

And of all oblations, ghee is remembered as bringing peace; / therefore, ghee is fit to be cast into the fire in every substance during oblation.
