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.
May this whetted axe that has shaped you bring great good fortune.
Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The wooden sacrificial posts of various species erected and gold-adorned for the Aśvamedha.
for the glory of that sacrifice they were adorned with gold.
two posts were appointed there whose circumference was as a man's outstretched arms.
All were duly set in place by craftsmen, well made and firm, each with eight facets, all polished and comely in appearance.
