Then, having given a mouthful of water [for rinsing] in the order of the brāhmaṇas, and having recited as before the Gāyatrī accompanied by the vyāhṛtis and the triplet beginning with 'madhuvātā', the question to the divine brāhmaṇa is: 'Oṃ, was it pleasing to you?' / When he says: 'It was very pleasing,' the question is: 'Oṃ, what of the remaining food?' / [The answer:] 'Eating together with dear ones.' / To the brāhmaṇa [representing] the ancestors and others, with the sacred thread over the right shoulder, the question is: 'Oṃ, are you satisfied?' / When he says: 'Oṃ, we are satisfied,' the sprinkling of the ground and the scattering of sesame seeds at the four corners of the diagram [is performed].
