Seizing, again with his left hand, the linen thread, he should put it down, from right to left, on the Pinda in the eastern pit, pronouncing his father's name, 'N.N.! This garment is thine, and is that of those who follow thee here, and of those whom thou followest. To thee Svadhâ!' (MB. II, 3, 12).
