in the texts
Rigveda
The sacrificial post to which the legendary Śunaḥśepa was bound.
Even Śunaḥśepa, bound to the thousand-post yūpa, was released — for he prayed.
Those who cut the sacrificial post and those who carry the post, and those who carve the ring for the horse's post, and those who bring together the cooking for the horse — may our praise song also stir them.
The posts which the god-fearing men have fixed, O Lord of the forest, or which the axe has hewn — may the gods, self-luminous, established in them, bestow upon us a treasure rich in offspring.
Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The wooden sacrificial posts of various species erected and gold-adorned for the Aśvamedha.
When the erection of the sacrificial posts arrived, six posts of bilva wood and as many of khadira were set up, together with those of bilva combined, and others made of paṇin wood.
two posts were appointed there whose circumference was as a man's outstretched arms.
Draped with garments and adorned with flowers and fragrant substances, they shone resplendently like the seven brilliant ṛṣis in heaven.
