Agniveshyagrihyasutra 3.9.2

Now, if the sacrificer should pass away when his fires are deposited within himself or in the churning sticks, if his son or resident pupil is capable of performing the rite,

having placed the sacred thread over the right shoulder, having raised [the ground] and sprinkled it, having placed the deceased in the sacrificer's place, having established a profane fire in the fireplace of the Gārhapatya, and taking hold from behind the right arm of the deceased, he mutters: 'Descend, O Jātavedas; lead this deceased to the heavenly world, knowing the way;

bestow upon us life, offspring, and wealth, and enjoy all his funeral offerings'.

Or having caused [the fires] to descend into the two churning sticks, he should churn [them].

Having distributed [the fires] silently, having filled the ladle with twelve ladlings [of ghee], having offered the Durgā, the Manasvatī, and the Great Mystic Utterances, and having offered a full oblation with the two verses 'King Yama here...', if petitioners are present, he gives them a milch cow.

Now, when the sacrificer has died in a remote place, only the direction is known.

Having arranged the sacrificial arena towards that direction, having summoned him by uttering his name, 'N.N., come!', having made an effigy of a man using only the stalks of palāśa leaves upon a black antelope skin, having piled the sacrificial utensils over them, and having covered them with young kuśa blades, they should cremate it in the customary manner.

If, this having been done, the sacrificer, having survived by means of the fires, should return again, how should one act in that case? || 2
