sarveṣāmathavā gāvo dātavyā hemabhūṣitāḥ
suvarṇamathavā dadyād gururvā yena tuṣyati
samantreṇaiva dātavyāḥ sarvāḥ sarvatra dakṣiṇāḥ //

A milch cow should be given away in the name of the Sun, a conch in the name of the Moon, a red ox in the name of the Mars, gold in the name of the Mercury, a pair of yellow garments in the name of the Jupiter, a white horse in the name of the Venus, a black cow in the name of the Saturn, iron in the name of the Râhu, goat in the name of the Ketu. The fee in each case must be a piece of gold, called suvarṇa (a golden coin), or cows adorned with gold, in the case of every one of these planets, or a suvarṇa coin in the case of each planet. If he cannot do that, then, he may give whatever may appeal to the fancy of the preceptor (guru). Everything should be given away, after reciting the prescribed mantras with fees, as noted below.—60-63.
