Valmiki Ramayana — Bala Kanda

Verse 53.10

शाश्वती शबला मह्यं कीर्तिरात्मवतो यथा। अस्यां हव्यं च कव्यं च प्राणयात्रा तथैव च॥

śāśvatī śabalā mahyaṃ kīrtirātmavato yathā| asyāṃ havyaṃ ca kavyaṃ ca prāṇayātrā tathaiva ca||

English Meaning

Even like to the fame of the mighty, this Śabala is ever joined with me. my oblations to the gods and the Pitrs as well as my subsistence itself are established even in her. And my Agnihotras, (Maintenance of the perpetual fire). bali, (Offering to the spirits of air) and Homa (Burnt offerings) depend upper her.
