: bhagas te hastam agrabhīt savitā hastam agrabhīt.|.pūṣā te hastam agrabhīd aryamā hastam agrabhīt.|.mitras tvam asi dharmaṇā agnir ācāryas tava /

'Bhaga has seized thy hand, Savitar has seized thy hand, Pûshan has seized thy hand, Aryaman has seized thy hand. Mitra art thou by right, Agni is thy teacher, and I, N.N., both of us. Agni, I give this student in charge to thee. Indra, I give this student in charge to thee. Sun, I give this student in charge to thee. Visve devâs, I give this student in charge to you, for the sake of long life, of blessed offspring and strength, of increase of wealth, of mastership of all Vedas, of renown, of bliss.'

2.3.2

: asāv aham ca ubhau agna etam te brahma cāriṇam pari dadāmi indra etam te brahma cāriṇam pari dadāmi āditya etam te brahma cāriṇam pari dadāmi viśve devā etam vo brahma cāriṇam pari dadāmi dīrgha āyutvāya suprajāstvāya suvīryāya rāyas poṣāya sarveṣām vedānām ādhipatyāya suślokyāya svastaye /

'In Indra's course I move; in the sun's course I move after him'—with these words he turns round from left to right,

: <.aindrīm āvṛtam āvarta ādityasya āvṛtam anvāvarta>.iti dakṣiṇam bāhum anvāvṛtya /

And grasping down with the span of his right hand over (the student's) right shoulder he touches the place of his heart with the words, 'May I be dear to thy inviolate heart.'

2.3.4

: dakṣiṇena prādeśena dakṣiṇam aṃsam anvavahṛtya.<.ariṣyatas te hṛdayasya priyo bhūyāsam>.iti hṛdaya deśam abhimṛśati /

Having silently turned round from right to left,

2.3.5

: tūṣṇīm prasavyam paryāvṛtya /

And then laying his hand with the fingers upwards on his (i.e. the student's) heart, he murmurs:

2.3.5.p1
