Afterwards the homa "Agni Karaṇa" rite should be performed, as explained before, and then the worshipper should fetch the pot of food with both hands and put it in the dishes. At the time of putting the food in the dishes, kuśa should be held in the hand with serene mind. Several kinds of pulses, vegetables, and other victuals should also be arranged in the dishes. In offering food, curds, milk, clarified butter of cow’s milk and sugar should also be put in the dishes. Piṭṛis are exceedingly fond of flesh, so Lord Keśava has said.—28-30.
