History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c48.222

v3.c48.222

The adhvaryu pours from a vessel full of water (*pūrṇapātra*) water into the joined hands of the wife in which the yoktra is held. When the wife lets down the water on the ground she mutters 'May I be united with long life, progeny &c.' (Tai. S. I. 1. 10. 2). After pouring the water she wipes her face with her wet right hand and goes out as she desires.²⁴¹⁹ When the hotṛ strews the blades of the veda, the sacrificer repeats 'through you they knew the vedi &c.' (Tai. Br. III. 7. 4).
