tathāṅgulayaḥ pavitrāṇi vāsāṃsi vividhāni ca.
pūjayettu samaṃ sarvānācāryyā dviguṇaṃ punaḥ.. 58.17 ..
Twenty-five Ṛitvijas (the eight Hotâs, eight Dvârapâlas, eight Jâpakas and one Purohita), arrayed in ornaments of gold, should be presented with golden ear-rings, armlets, rings and different kinds of cloths, without making any difference between them. But the family (Âchârya) should be worshipped with double the number of things offered to the Ṛitvijas. After that, the worshipper should give away in charity the things liked by him the best, along with a bedstead.—16-17.
