Every day (while the dīṣkā lasts) the sacrificer observes silence from the afternoon till the appearance of stars and in the morning from before sunrise till the sun goes up. The dīkṣita is allowed to go himself or to send agents called (sanīhāra)²⁵⁴³ to collect money and materials necessary for the sacrifice. He has to observe many rules on his journey (vide Āp. X. 19. 6-16).
