The procedure in the morning agnihotra is the same as the evening agnihotra except in a few details e. g. the paryukṣaṇa mantra in the morning is different in Āśv. II. 4. 25 'satyartābhyāṁ tvā paryukṣāmi', while in the evening it is 'ṛtasatyābhyāṁ tvā &c.' (Āśv. II. 2. 11), the samidh is offered into fire in the morning with the mantra 'hariṇīm tvā sūryajyotiṣamahariṣṭakām-upadadhe svāhā' (while in the evening the mantra is 'rajatāṁ tvāgnijyotiṣam rātrim-iṣṭakām-upadadhe svāhā' Āśv. II. 4. 25 and II. 3. 15); the mantra in offering an oblation of milk in the fire in the morning is 'bhūrbhuvaḥsvarom, sūryo jyotir jyotiḥ sūryaḥ svāhā', while in the evening the word 'agniḥ' is substituted for 'sūryaḥ' (Āśv. II. 4. 25 and II. 3. 16). Vide Kāt. IV. 15 for further details.
