⁹⁶⁶ In आश्व. गृ. I. 17. 7 the mantra in चौल is अदितिः केशान् वपतु; instead of it the mantra in godāna is 'अदितिः इमश्रूणि वपतु'. In चौल आश्व. (I. 17. 8) prescribes the laying of kuśa bunches on to the right side of the hair; in गोदान the kuśa is laid on the beard (before it is cut). In चौल the edge of the razor is wiped with the mantra 'यत्क्षुरेण मर्चयता सुपेशसा वप्ता वपसि केशान्। शुन्धि शिरो मास्यायुः प्रमोषीः (आश्व. गृ. I. 17. 15); instead in गोदान, the mantra is यत्...वपसि श्मश्रूणि ॥ शुन्धि शिरो मुखं मास्या &c. In this way ऊह (necessary changes in the words) is to be made. In चौल in आश्व. I. 17. 16 the direction to the barber is 'शीतोष्णाभिरद्भिरवर्थं कुर्वाणोऽक्षुण्वन्कुशलीकुरु'; in गोदान it is 'शीतो... क्षुण्वन् कुशली केशाश्मश्रुलोमनखान्यृदक्संस्थानि कुरु'.
