Having served them, he goes to the water and offers handfuls of water through the giving of handfuls of water: “This is your sweet, flowing wave, O father! As great as are the fire and earth, so great is its measure, so great is its greatness. As vast as it has become, so vast do I give it. Just as the fire is unexhausted and unfailing, so may this be unexhausted and unfailing svadhā for my father! O so-and-so, live upon that unexhausted svadhā together with them! The Ṛg-verses are your greatness!” || 3
