⁶⁶² स्नातं शुचिवाससं बद्धशिखं यज्ञोपवीतं प्रतिमुञ्चन् वाचयति ‘यज्ञोपवीतं परमं पवित्रं प्रजापतेर्यत्सहजं पुरस्तात् । आयुष्यमग्र्यं प्रतिमुञ्च शुभ्रं यज्ञोपवीतं बलमस्तु तेजः ॥’ इति । यज्ञोपवीतिनमप आचमय्याथ देवयजनमुदानयति । बौ. गृ. II. 5. 7-8; the verse यज्ञोपवीतं is quoted as from गृह्यपरिशिष्ट in स्मृतिच० (I. p. 31) and is repeated even in the island of Bali by the *pedandas*. In some mss. of Pār. gṛ. this mantra occurs, but it is an interpolation, as Karka, Jayarāma and Harihara say ‘यथाप सूत्रकारेण यज्ञोपवीतधारणं न सूत्रितम्’ (हरिहर).
