Now a student who has broken his vow (avakirnin) shall heap fuel on the fire on the night of the new moon, perform the preparatory ceremonies required for a Darvihoma, and offer two oblations of clarified butter (reciting the following texts): 'O Lust, I have broken my vow, my vow I have broken, O Lust, to Lust Svâhâ ;' O Lust, I have done evil, I have done evil, O Lust, to Lust Svâhâ'
11. After he has made the offering, he shall address the fire, closely joining his hands and turning sideways, (with the following texts): “May the Maruts grant me, may Indra, may Brihaspati, may this fire grant me long life and strength, make me long-lived.' The Maruts, forsooth, give back to him the vital airs, Indra gives back to him strength, Brihaspati the lustre of Brahman, Fire all the remainder. (Thus) his body is made whole, and he attains the full length of life. Let him next address (the gods) with three (repetitions of the texts).
