### [v7.c93.554](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c93.554)

Details are provided as regards the two offerings to Sarasvatī and Sārasvata The doubt arises: are the details about the offering to be made to the female deity to be performed first or are they to be first performed as the offerings to the male deity? The prima facie view being that as no śāstra exists regulating priority one may do as one likes, the established conclusion is that the order of sequence in the case of the details should be determined by the order of the Yājyānuvākyā verses. These are mentioned first about the female deity in the words 'pra no devī Sarasvatī' (Tai. S I. 8. 22. 1, Ṛg VI. 61. 4). Therefore, the conclusion is that in the details also the offering to the female deity should come first.
