AVŚ 5.19.12

याम् मृतायानुबध्नन्ति कूद्यं पदयोपनीम् । तद् वै ब्रह्मज्य ते देवा उपस्तरणम् अब्रुवन् ॥१२॥

yām mṛtāyānubadhnanti kūdyaṃ padayopanīm | tad vai brahmajya te devā upastaraṇam abruvan ||12||

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

The kūdī́ which they tie on after a dead man, as effacer (?) of the track, that verily, O Brahman-scather, did the gods call thy couch (upastáraṇa).
