Agniveshyagrihyasutra 3.11.4

Now, therefore, we shall explain the offering to Nārāyaṇa (nārāyaṇabali).

It should be performed in the southern or northern course of the sun, on the twelfth day of the dark fortnight.

He invites twelve or six Brahmins endowed with sacred learning and good conduct.

In a temple or on the bank of a river, then having performed [the rites] from the furrowing of the sacrificial ground up to the praṇītā waters, having risen near [the fire], in front of the fire [he invokes]: "I invoke the deity; Om bhūḥ, I invoke the Puruṣa; Om bhuvaḥ, I invoke the Puruṣa; Om svaḥ, I invoke the Puruṣa; Om bhūrbhuvaḥsvaḥ, I invoke the Puruṣa, Om"; having thus invoked, having performed [the rites] from the putting on of the enclosing sticks up to the mouth of the fire, having worshiped the deity, having purified with the three [verses] "O waters, you are truly refreshing...", with the four [verses] "Golden of color, pure, purifying...", and with this section "Pavamāna, cleanser...", he should present [offerings] with unhusked barley grains, perfume, flowers, incense, and lamps with this section "The thousand-headed Puruṣa..." or with the eight-syllabled [formula].

Having seated [himself] facing west, he offers the principal oblations: having recited the introductory verse "Now I will proclaim the heroic deeds of Viṣṇu...", he offers with the offering verse "Beyond measure..."

Then he offers secondary oblations of clarified butter: twelve ladle-oblations [with]: "To Keśava, svāhā."

He presents the sacrificial offering of milk-rice cooked with jaggery and mixed with ghee to Mahāviṣṇu, [reciting:] "By the impulse of the god..."

Having summoned the Brahmins with the twelve salutations beginning with "To Keśava...", having seated them facing north on seats provided with darbha grass, he should give a garment and a ring as a sacrificial fee.

He satisfies the Brahmins with threefold food.

Having caused [the Brahmins] to recite auspicious wishes and having taken leave, he should restrain his speech.

Having mixed together clarified butter, sesame, and the oblation food, and having brought the iḍā-vessel, he should offer with his hand: “To the fathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the grandfathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the great-grandfathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the mothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the grandmothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the great-grandmothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the maternal grandfathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the mother’s grandfathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the mother’s great-grandfathers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the maternal grandmothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the mother’s grandmothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the mother’s great-grandmothers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the teachers svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the teachers' wives svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the elders svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the elders' wives svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the friends svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the friends' wives svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the kinsmen svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the kinsmen's wives svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the companions svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To the companions' wives svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To all [men] svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To all [women] svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

“To Agni Kavyavāhana, Sviṣṭakṛt, svadhā, reverence, to Viṣṇu svāhā!”

[The procedure] from the Sviṣṭakṛt onwards is established, up to the presentation of an excellent cow.

Having strewn south of the fire darbha grass with its tips pointing south, he offers a bali on them: “Reverence to the All-gods! Reverence to the Sādhya gods! Reverence to all the gods! Reverence to all the deities! O so-and-so, this is for you! Reverence! Reverence to the Brahmins! Reverence, reverence to the one dear to Brahman!”

And he who reaches all of them gives a bali to the fathers [and] to Nārāyaṇa.

The rite for the departed has been stated above.

In the same manner, one should omit bodily rites for one who killed himself by weapon, poison, rope, water, a hooded serpent, wind, a tree, a stone, suffocation, and the like, or for one who has fallen among cows, Brahmins, widows, or outcasts.

If one has died in another land, or was killed in battle, or killed by a tiger, having brought the body, one should cremate it according to the rule.

If it shows only one limb or two limbs, he should make a body of earth mixed with barley flour [to supply the rest].

Having anointed it with honey and clarified butter, he should cremate it according to the rule.

Now, if he should be alive, he should return again.
