Bṛhadāraṇyaka 6.3.1
तृतीयं ब्राह्मणम् (ज्येष्ठब्राह्मणं वा प्राणविद्याब्राह्मणम्)
स यः कामयेत महत्प्राप्नुयामित्युदगयन आपूर्यमाणपक्षस्य पुण्याहे द्वादशाहमुपसद्व्रती भूत्वौदुम्बरे कंसे चमसे वा सर्वौषधं फलानीति संभृत्य परिसमुह्य परिलिप्याग्निमुपसमाधाय परिस्तीर्यावृताज्यं संस्कृत्य पुंसा नक्षत्रेण मन्थं संनीय जुहोति
यावन्तो देवास्त्वयि जातवेदस्तिर्यञ्चो घ्नन्ति पुरुषस्य कामान् ।
तेभ्योऽहं भागधेयं जुहोमि ते मा तृप्ताः सर्वैः कामैस्तर्पयन्तु स्वाहा ।
या तिरश्ची निपद्यसेऽहं विधरणी इति ।
तां त्वा घृतस्य धारया यजे संराधनीमहं स्वाहा ॥ ६.३.१ ॥
This is the third brāhmaṇa, also called the eldest brāhmaṇa or the brāhmaṇa of the knowledge of prāṇa. One who desires to obtain something great, during the northern course of the sun, on an auspicious day of the waxing fortnight, having observed the twelve-day upasad vow, should gather all herbs and fruits in a vessel or cup of udumbara wood, sweep and smear the ground around, kindle the fire, spread kuśa grass, prepare the offering with ghee poured over it, mix the churned mixture with the male-named asterism, and offer it. O Jātavedas, as many gods as there are in you who strike down the desires of a man moving across, to them I offer a share; may they, satisfied, satisfy me with all desires, svāhā. You who lie slanting, I am the sustainer; that bringer of success I worship with a stream of ghee, svāhā.

May the tree be full of sweetness for us, may the sun be full of sweetness, may the cows be sweet for us. Svaḥ svāhā. Then he recites the whole Sāvitrī and all the madhumatī verses, and at the end says: "May I become all this — bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ svāhā." Then, having sipped water, washed his hands, he sits down behind the fire, facing east. At dawn he stands facing the sun: "You are the one lotus of the directions; may I be the one lotus among men." Returning the way he came, sitting behind the fire, he recites the lineage.
