The rituals prescribed for the mount of grain should be observed. The four corner mounts (viṣkambha) should be given away to the sacrificing priests, as before, with the following words: ‘I salute you, O mount of gold, you are the seed, the womb of Brahmâ, you are the giver of unbounded fruits. The gold is most sacred on account of its being born of Fire; therefore, O Nâgottama! protect me.’ One who gives away the mount of gold, according to these rites, goes to the blissful realm of Brahmâ where he resides for a period of one kalpa, after which he attains emancipation.—3-7.
