KRISHNA YAJURVEDA NOUN

yvk.3.4	a O Vastospati, accept us; Be of kind entrance for us and free from ill; That which we seek from thee, do thou accord us, And health be thou for our bipeds, health for our quadrupeds.
yvk.3.4	b O Vastospati, may we be comrades of thee In a friendship, effectual, joyful, and proceeding well; Aid our wishes in peace, in action; Do ye guard us ever with blessings.
yvk.3.4	Therefore that is the place of sacrifice where he advances having spent ten (nights); not suitable is the place where (he spends) less time than that [2] Now Vastospati is Rudra.
yvk.3.4	If he were to go on without offering to Vastospati, the fire becoming Rudra would leap after him and slay him; he offers to Vastospati; verily with his own share he appeases him; the sacrificer does not come to ruin.
yvk.3.4	If he were to offer with the chariot yoked, that would be as when one offers an oblation on a place he has left; if he were to offer without the chariot being yoked, that would be as when one offers an oblation at rest; verily no offering would be made to Vastospati [3].
yvk.3.4	The right (animal) is yoked, the left not yoked, and thus he offers to Vastospati; verily he does both, and appeases him completely.
