Kaushitakagrihyasutra 1.9: atha navamaḥ khaṇḍaḥ

With the three verses ‘I release you…’, when she sets out for his home.

With ‘They weep for the living…’, if she weeps.

Then the wife performs the anointing of the axle of the chariot with clarified butter, with the verse: ‘Envelop yourself with the sap of the khadira tree…’

With ‘Your two wheels are bright…’ [and] ‘Your two wheels are…’, over the two wheels;

the former [wheel] with the former [verse], the latter with the latter.

And [over] the two draft-oxen.

Having placed a twig of a fruit-bearing tree into each of the yoke-pin holes with the verse ‘In the axle-hole of the chariot…’, and having consecrated the two permanent [pins], they then harness the two draft-oxen with the two verses: ‘Let your right [ox] be harnessed…’

Having consecrated the two harnessed [oxen] with the half-verse ‘The two white oxen…’, [he mutters] ‘Sukimśuka…’ when she mounts the chariot.

The bearer of the sacred fire, however, should walk in front.

At a crossroads, with: ‘May the highway robbers not find [them]…’

At a cremation ground, with: ‘Those who [are evil spirits] of the bride…’

At a tree, he mutters the half-verse: ‘O tree of a hundred branches…’

Now, if a part of the chariot should break or tear, having made the maiden enter the house of one who maintains the sacred fire, he should join it together with the verse ‘Who without…’; with ‘Even that horse…’ [he consecrates] the knot; he mutters the hymn of five verses: ‘May they grant us well-being…’

With ‘The well-protecting…’, when she boards a boat.

With ‘Stony…’, when crossing a river.

Or, if [crossing] with the harnessed [chariot] itself, [he mutters] ‘May your wave rise…’ and looks [at the river] in deep water.

With the seven [verses] ‘Here may what is dear to you prosper with offspring…’, when she has reached the house.

Omitting the [verses] already used.
