Translation -
Attention is paid even to all minor details in the arena. Care is taken of the post to which the horse is roped, and special attendants are keen to take care of the horse. Rings are fastened on the top of the posts, and in close vicinity are vessels in which the food and fodder of the horse are dressed. (1)

Asvayūpāya, for the post, which will be used to bind the horse. Takṣati, they hew the wood. It should have been takṣanti; here singular is used in place of plural (वचन व्यत्यय ).
