c11.s2.16

The three stages in the kindling of the Fire are appropriately referred to as *parichāyya*, its showy assemblage and adornment in the beginning (*alaṅkaraṇa*; cf. *parichāyyaṁ chinvīta grāmakāmaḥ, Śat. Br.* V.4.11.3); *upachāyya*, its augmenting or blazing forth (*saṁvardhana*) in the middle; and *samūhya* (III.1.132), its final form consisting of ashes and rubbish swept or heaped together, for which the graphic phrase *samuhyapurīsha* was current (*Ś. Br.* VI.7.2.8; *Kāt. Śr.* XVI.5.9.10).
