'prajāpataye' ('To Prajāpati')—Hiraṇyagarbha Prajāpati [is the seer]; triṣṭubh [is the meter]; application is in the homa of the full final oblation. / Having offered the full final oblation with these, and having completed the remaining rites such as pouring out the praṇītā waters, touching the pitcher placed in the center of the four sacred pots on its southern side, if the sacrificer belongs to the Yajurveda, he should recite 'tryambakam' ('The three-eyed one') and also the Rudraikādaśinī. / If he is a Ṛgvedin, however, the Rudrasūktas [are recited]; if a Sāmavedin, the Rudrasāmans; and if an Atharvavedin, merely the Tryambaka mantra. Here too, the recitation of the Rudra [mantra] is eleven, eight, three, two, or one in number; the recitation of the Tryambaka [mantra] is one hundred for all. Then, having worshiped the Rudra serpents with the five modes of service, having stood before them with 'tryambakam' and 'namas te sarpebhyaḥ' ('Homage to you, O serpents'), and having taken water from all the pots in another vessel, the preceptor together with the officiating priests should seat the sacrificer—whose limbs have been anointed with all the medicinal herbs and who has put on new garments—together with his wife and child, and consecrate him with the mantras to be spoken. / Of the six [verses] beginning with 'atribhyām' ('By the two Atrīs'), Kaśyapa is the seer; Vivṛhā Yakṣmanāśana [is the deity]; anuṣṭubh [is the meter]; application is in the consecratory sprinkling. Of the seven [verses] beginning with 'tribhis tvaṃ deva' ('You, O god, with the three'), Vasiṣṭha is the seer; Agni is the deity of the first three, then the Viśvedevas of the four; the first is gāyatrī, the second is anuṣṭubh, then three are gāyatrīs, and the last two are anuṣṭubhs; application is in the consecratory sprinkling. Of the nine [verses] beginning with 'āpo hi ṣṭha' ('Waters indeed are you'), Sindhudvīpa Āmbarīṣa is the seer; the waters [are the deity]; the [first seven are] gāyatrīs, the last two are anuṣṭubhs, the fifth is vardhamānā, the seventh is pratiṣṭhā; application is in the consecratory sprinkling. Of the two [verses] beginning with 'apaidvā' ('Depart!'), the Aptya seers [are the seers]; the Viśvedevas are the deities; anuṣṭubh [is the meter]. Of 'sahasrākṣeṇa' ('With the thousand-eyed'), Prajāpati Yakṣmanāśin [is the seer]; Yakṣmahā [is the deity]; triṣṭubh [is the meter]. / Then: / May that god who holds the thunderbolt, the great Indra who rides an elephant, / avert the affliction born of the serpent from the child and from the mother and father! / May that god who holds the spear, the consumer of oblations who rides a ram, / the seven-tongued god Agni, avert the affliction of the serpent! / May that god who holds the staff, Dharma who rides a buffalo, / Yama, avert my child's affliction born of the serpent!
