Then, having sprinkled [them] with the [verses] beginning with "surās tvām", having worshipped the fire, having given a cow to the ācārya, an ox with a priestly gift to the one who recited the Rudra [hymns], and priestly gifts to the others, having performed the concluding worship of the deities, having dismissed them, having placed [the fees] in the ācārya's hand, having worshipped the fire and dismissed it saying "Depart, depart", having recited the great propitiatory rite, and having fed the Brahmins, he should eat himself.
Thus ends the propitiatory rite for the appearance of menses in the Śāntiratna composed by Kamalākarabhaṭṭa.
