Agniveshyagrihyasutra 1.3.4

'This plant, protecting, overcoming, powerful,

May she, like the taking of a father's name, make me possess the splendor of Soma; may she make me possess the splendor of the Sun, possessing the splendor of the Veda, an eater of food, svāhā!'

Then he floats it in a water pot with: 'And all with you, we...'

Having said: 'You are without a noose,' he fastens it across [his chest].

Because of this Brāhmaṇa [passage]: 'For they fasten what is to be tied on in reverse, for distinction.'

Then, having strung these two earrings on a thread, placed them in a ladle, [and] wound them with the thread on the ladle handle, he offers: 'Procuring long life, procuring splendor, increasing wealth, breakthrough,

May this gold enter into this wealth for splendor and for victory, svāhā!'

He offers a second [libation]: 'Like welfare, I, of gold, like the taking of a father's name,

May it make me possess the splendor of Soma; may it make me possess the splendor of the Sun, possessing the splendor of the Veda, an eater of food, svāhā!'

He offers a third [libation]: 'Loudly swift, victorious in battle, victorious in assembly, winning wealth,

Prosper all prosperities that are established in the gold, svāhā!'

He offers a fourth [libation]: 'The sovereign power and the self-rule, and whatever prosperity is in our house,

Whatever prosperity is at the head of the realm, unite me with that, svāhā!'

He offers a fifth [libation]: 'Make fame for me among Brahmins; make fame for me among kings;

Make fame among Vaiśyas and Śūdras; I am one whose austerity is famous, svāhā!'

Then he floats them in a water pot with: 'And all with you, we...'

Having said: 'You are without a noose,' having washed one earring, he fastens it in the right ear. // 4
