Then, having worshipped the pitcher in the north-eastern [corner] of the sacrificial altar, and having prayed with the verse beginning with 'devadānava-saṃvāde', he should perform the anvādhāna. Having declared up to 'the two eyes [of the fire] with ghee', [he resolves]: 'with firewood sticks, caru, and ghee offerings numbering any of one hundred and eight, twenty-eight, or eight for the nine planets; with offerings of any of barley, rice, ghee, or sesame numbering any of ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or ten million for the nine planets; [and] with the remainder for the sviṣṭakṛt...' In the view that there is only a single caru and ghee offering for all [deities], there is marking out [of lines on the ground] and the like accordingly. In the cases of a hundred-thousand fire oblation and a ten-million fire oblation, [he makes offerings] to Garutmat with firewood sticks and so forth numbering one hundred and eight and so on; in the ten-million fire oblation, [offerings are made] to Brahmā and the others just like to Garuḍa. In the view of a single caru offering, the rule of five portions applies for the Vatsas. If the hundred-thousand fire oblation or the like is to be accomplished over many days, the caru-sviṣṭakṛt and so forth are to be performed on the very first day. The worship of the planets is to be performed every day until the completion of the fire oblation; in the ten-million fire oblation, a full offering [is made] at every thousand [oblations]. At the conclusion of the fire oblation, having worshipped the fire and performed [the rites] up to the atonement fire oblations beginning with the sviṣṭakṛt, having offered black-gram and cooked-rice propitiatory offerings all around the fire to the nine planets, to the north of the sacrificial altar to the seven beginning with Vināyaka, and to Garutmat with their respective mantras, he should have a propitiatory offering to the protector of the field cast at the crossroad by a brāhmaṇa or a śūdra. Then, having washed his feet, he should offer the full offering with ghee taken twelve times or four times, together with cloth, a coconut, and so forth. The mantras in this regard: For 'samudrād ūrmiḥ', the ṛṣi is Gautama or Vāmadeva, the deity is Agni, the metre is triṣṭubh. Mantra: 'Oṃ. Homage to the ocean, to the bird, to the lord of rivers. Offer ye to Viśvakarman, the father of all rivers, the offering that is ever to be remembered by mortals.' For 'mūrdhānaṃ divaḥ', Bharadvāja the son of Bṛhaspati is the ṛṣi, Vaiśvānara is the deity, triṣṭubh is the metre. Mantra: 'Oṃ. The head of heaven, the navel of the earth, Vaiśvānara, Agni born for the cosmic order, the universal monarch, the guest of men, a vessel in their mouth—may the gods bring him forth.' For 'punas tvā agniḥ', the Vasus, Rudras, and Ādityas are the deities, triṣṭubh is the metre.
