The śrāddha performed here is believed to be performed on the altar of Brahmā (i. e. where Brahmā performed his Aśvamedha). Then he should with the face to the south throw on Pretaparvata barley grains mixed with sesame with the mantra ‘ye kecit’ (Vāyu 110 63 q both by Tīr. C. p. 297 and by Raghunandana) and offer an añjali of water mixed with sesame with the mantra ‘ā-brahma’ (Vāyu 110.-64).¹⁵²⁸
