⁹⁸⁷ या. I. 232—अपसव्यं ततः. The Mit quotes वृद्धशातातप that from hence the performer should face the south 'उदङ्मुखस्तु देवानां पितॄणां दक्षिणामुखः। प्रदद्यात् पार्वणे सर्वं देवपूर्वं विधानतः॥'. 'Double-folded *kuśas*'—compare Āśv. (*Continued from last page*) above (p. 434). The स्कन्दपुराण (VII. 1. 206. 17) provides 'दाने स्नाने जपे होमे भोजने देवतार्चने। देवानामुजवौ दर्भा. पितॄणा द्विगुणास्तथा॥' In offering each of the things in *daiva* or *pitrya* rite in śrāddha water must be given before and after. The मिता says that here the method called काण्डानुसमय (and not पदार्थानुसमय) has to be followed. These two are dealt with in Jat. V. 2 1-15. Vide H of Dh vol II. pp. 739-740 In this case if there are three brāhmaṇas, water, kuśas and water are all to be given to one, then the same three to the second and the same three to the third This is काण्डानुसमय If water is given one after another to the three, then kuśas one after another to them, then water one after another to three, that would be पदार्थानुसमय. काण्ड means पदार्थवर्ग. हेमाद्रि (on श्रा pp. 759-766) has an exhaustive and lucid discussion on these two He states that पदार्थानुसमय is the rule but काण्डानुसमय also has to be followed in certain cases For example, on p 764 he says 'चरणप्रक्षालना-चमनप्रदानासनोपवेशनानि पदार्थानुसमयेन । आसनक्षणवाहनार्घ्यगन्धपुष्पधूपदीपाच्छादनाना पदार्थानां कृत्स्न काण्डे वैश्वदेविकेषु द्विजेष्वपवर्ज्य पैतृकेष्वारम्भणीयम्' and relies on या I. 229-234 to show that all items relating to वैश्वदेविकब्राह्मणs are first finished and those relating to पैतृकब्राह्मणs are then taken up i e. there is काण्डानुसमय as to वैश्वदेविक and पैतृकब्राह्मणs. Vide हेमाद्रि (श्रा) p. 1215 also.
