savyenai 'va pāṇinā darvīṃ gṛhītvā, sannītāt tṛtīyamātram avadāyā 'vasalavi pūrvasyāṃ karṣvāṃ darbheṣu nidadhyāt pitur nāma gṛhītvā: 'sāv eṣa te piṇḍo, ye cā 'tra tvā 'nu yām̐ś ca tvam anu, tasmai te svadhe 'ti;

Seizing, again with his left hand, the Darvî spoon, he should cut off one-third of the mixture (of the different kinds of sacrificial food) and should put down (that Pinda), from right to left, on the Darbha grass in the eastern pit, pronouncing his father's name, 'N.N.! This Pinda is thine, and of those who follow thee here, and of those whom thou followest. To thee Svadhâ!'
