“Having performed the household worship properly in the fitting place and in due order, he should next worship the fire and offer it the oblations in due order. He should make the first offering to Brahmā, and then to to the prajāpati, and the third to the Guhyas, and the next to Kaśyapa. Then having offered to Anumati[13] he should next offer the household bali and the constant oblations, that I have already explained to thee, according to the ritual. Next he should make the offering to the Viśvadevas, then the offerings to all creatures, and separately to the gods according to place and apportionment. And he should make the three oblations to Parjanya, the Dharitrīs, and to Māṇaka,[14] and to Vāyu in every direction, to the east and other regions of the sky in due order; and to Brahmā, to the Air and to the Sun in order, and to the Viśvadevas and to all beings; and then he should offer to the Dawn, and to Śiva northwards; and southwards to the pitṛs, exclaiming ‘Svadhā, reverence!’ Having done it on the right and to the north west, saying, ‘Q Yakṣma,[15] this is for thee!’ he should, if he wishes, offer the remains of the food and the water from the vessel according to the rule. Then taking up the first part of the food, he should offer it with the benediction Hanta to the brahman according to the rule and justice.
