After thus taking his bath, one should again rinse his mouth and change his clothes, putting on white garments and present libations of water as follows :--13. "Devas, Yakṣas, Nâgas, Gandharvas, Apsarâs, Asuras, ferocious serpents, suparṇas (a class of bird like beings of a semi-Divine character), trees, jackals &c., the beings living in the air, the beings living in water, the beings traversing in the sky, the beings without any one to offer them libations, the pious ones, I offer you all these libations." Libations to the Devas should be made with the sacred thread on the right shoulder.—13-15.
