*Sruk* and *sruva* are two different kinds of spoons, used to take out ghee from the ghee-pot and pour it out to the sacred fire in the sacrifices. The former of these has a hemispherical bowl, while the other is shaped very much like a modern spoon. A *sruk* of large proportion is generally carried by the goddess Annapūrṇā (see Pl. III, figs. 17, 18 and 19).
