or a cow turns against itself, or an ox scrapes the sky, or smoke appears where there is no fire, or a mushroom or sap appears, or a frog is seen in the dwelling, or a permanent tooth falls out in a dream, or the master of the house attains cessation along with his wife: in these or other portents of the house, having traced out the sacrificial ground and the rest, up to the face of the fire, he makes oblations from the pot-cooked grain offering. Having recited the invitatory verse ‘yata indra bhayāmahe’, he offers an oblation with the offering verse ‘svastidā viśaspatir’. Then he offers ghee oblations with: ‘vāstoṣpate’, ‘śaṃ na indrāgnī’, ‘kayā naś citra ā bhuvat’, ‘ko adābhyavataṃ naḥ’, ‘samanasā’—the procedure is established from the sviṣṭakṛt oblation onward, up to the gift of a prime cow. Then, in front, he places the remainder of the oblation upon leaves of the śamī tree. With ‘śanno devīr abhiṣṭaye’, having brought together the pot-cooked grain offering, the wash-water, the remainder of the ghee, and the remainder of the water in a dish, he should pour it out or sprinkle it. With ‘tac chaṃyor āvṛṇīmahe’, having consecrated the food, worshipped the brahmins, and had them recite blessings, it will turn out auspiciously. Thus has the portent been explained.
