Afterwards, good Brâhmaṇas should be devoutly worshipped with raw sugar, clarified butter and milk, and then they should be given gold, placed on a dish, containing sesamum.—12. Then the Brâhmaṇas should be dismissed with fees, after reciting the 'vyâhriti' mantras. The devotee should then go to sleep and then, after getting up in the morning, he should bathe and finish his japa (prayers) and take rice cooked in clarified butter and sugar in company of the Brâhmaṇas.—13.
