AVŚ 18.4.5

जुहूर् दाधार द्याम् उपभृद् अन्तरिक्षं ध्रुवा दाधार पृथिवीं प्रतिष्ठाम् । प्रतीमां लोका घृतपृष्ठाः स्वर्गाः कामंकामं यजमानाय दुह्राम् ॥५॥

juhūr dādhāra dyām upabhṛd antarikṣaṃ dhruvā dādhāra pṛthivīṃ pratiṣṭhām | pratīmāṃ lokā ghṛtapṛṣṭhāḥ svargāḥ kāmaṃkāmaṃ yajamānāya duhrām ||5||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

The sacrificial spoon (juhū́) sustains the sky, the offering spoon (upabhṛ́t) the atmosphere; the ladle (dhruvā́) sustains ⌊ dhṛ ⌋ the earth, the support (pratiṣṭhā́); unto me (?) let the worlds, ghee-backed, heavenly (svargá), yield every desire for the sacrificer.
