Further, 'Thee, the food-abounding (masc.), I cleanse for the kindling of food!'--'thee that art suitable for the sacrifice, I cleanse for the sacrifice,' he thereby says. In the same way he brushes all the spoons, saying, 'Thee, the food-abounding (fem.)...,' in the case of the offering-spoon (sruk, fem.). The prâsitraharana (he brushes) silently.
