4.113_7

With the two verses beginning 'mā nas toke...', with the six verses beginning 'yā te rudra śivā tanūḥ...', with 'agne rakṣāṃsi sedhati...', 'śukrajyotiḥ...', 'amartyaḥ śuciḥ pāvaka īḍyaḥ...', 'tvaṃ naḥ soma viśvato rakṣā rājan...', 'aṣūyataḥ...', 'sariṣyet...', ending with the eating after the sviṣṭakṛt oblation, he should give to the preceptor a black cow, black sesame seeds, and a golden root accompanied by the seven grains. / A black draft ox to the Brahman priest, garments to the astrologers, gold to the other Brahmins. He should feed the Brahmins with kṛsara and milk porridge. When one is born in the gaṇḍa of the serpent deity (Āśleṣā), this procedure was declared by Kātyāyana; when it is performed, peace arises.
