He asked him: "If the performer himself should notice an error that has passed beyond, or another should remind him, how would that error become free of error? Should he recite again the repetition, or the ritual direction, or the offering verse, or whatever else—recite all that again?" "Only so much as is the error should he recite: a verse, or a half-verse, or a pāda, or a word, or a syllable," so said Jātūkarṇya.
