Gobhilagrihyasutra 1.4

He then should silently offer the Balis.

Let him speak only what refers to the due preparation of the food. With guests he may converse, if he likes.

He then should take some portion of food which is fit for sacrifice, should pour over it some liquid fit for sacrifice (such as ghee, milk, or curds), and should sacrifice it silently in the fire with his hand.

The first oblation is sacred to Pragâpati, the second to (Agni) Svishtakrit.

He then should offer the Balis, inside or outside (the Agnyagâra), having well cleansed the ground.

Let him pour out water once, and put down Balis in four places, and finally sprinkle once (water on the four Balis).

Or let him for each Bali which he puts down, sprinkle (water) before and afterwards.

What he puts down first, that is the Bali belonging to the Earth. What in the second place, to Vâyu. What in the third place, to the Visve devâs. What in the fourth place, to Pragâpati.

Then he should offer other Balis (near) the water-pot, the middle (post, and) the door: the first Bali is sacred to the Waters, the second to the Herbs and Trees, the third to the Ether.

Then he should offer another Bali in the bed or in the privy. That Bali belongs either to Kâma or to Manyu.

Then (another Bali) on the heap of sweepings; that (belongs) to the hosts of Rakshas.

The remnants of the Balis he should besprinkle with water, and should pour them out towards the south from right to left; they belong to the Fathers.

Let him sacrifice in the fire sitting.

Let him make the oblation to the Fathers sitting; the other (Balis he may offer) as it happens.

He should, however, offer those Balis himself as long as he stays at home.

Or another person who must be a Brâhmana (should offer them for him).

Both the husband and his wife (should offer them):

This is the rule for householders.

The wife in the evening, the man in the morning: thus (it is stated).

He should offer such Balis of all food whatever, be it prepared for the Fathers, or for auspicious purposes (for instance, for being offered to Brâhmanas), or for (ordinary) purposes.

Only in the case of a sacrifice (this rule) ceases.

If rice and barley are prepared for one and the same meal, he should, having offered (Balis) of the one or the other (kind of food), consider his duty as fulfilled.

If the food is cooked at different times for one meal, he should perform this Bali ceremony only once.

If food is prepared at different places for one family, he should perform this Bali ceremony only from (the food which is prepared in) the kitchen belonging to the householder.

However (of the persons belonging to the family) he whose food becomes ready before (that of the householder), (that person) should offer the prescribed portion in the fire, and give to a Brâhmana his share (of the food), and then should eat himself.

He whose (food becomes ready) after (that of the householder), should only eat.

Here they say also:

'At the end of that offering of Balis let him pronounce a wish. Then it will be fulfilled to him.'

He himself, however, should offer the Âsasya Bali, from the barley(-harvest) till the rice(-harvest), and from the rice(-harvest) till the barley(-harvest). This is called the Âsasya Bali.
This Bali is called â-sasya, because it is offered until (â) the next crop (sasya) is ripe. As to the regulation that the sacrificer has to offer it himself, compare above, Sûtras 15-19.

Thus he obtains long life.

When a donation has been made, he should offer a Bali of chaff, of the scum of boiled rice, and of water. This is sacred to Rudra. This is sacred to Rudra.
