Then the question to the brāhmaṇa representing the ancestors: "Are the piṇḍas complete?" / He says: "They are well-completed." Having poured a stream of milk on the piṇḍas, moving the piṇḍas, having turned the piṇḍa-vessel upwards before the guest brāhmaṇa, with the verse: "Om, in every race, win, O coursers, our riches, O inspired, immortal, truth-knowing seers; / drink of this honey, exhilarate yourselves; satisfied, depart along the paths trodden by the gods," dismissal of the piṇḍas... With the verse: "May the impulse of strength come to me; may Heaven and Earth, all-shaped, come to me; may the two parents come to me; may Soma come to me with immortality"— / this is the dismissal of the deities. / "Om, depart!"—this is the dismissal of the brāhmaṇa representing the ancestors. / Turning back after following the brāhmaṇas [as they leave]. / Disposing of the piṇḍas to cows and others—this is the remainder.
