If it be a male, thou shalt sprinkle behind it beforehand, and in front of it afterwards; (86) and if it be a female, thou shalt sprinkle in front of it beforehand, and behind it afterwards; [on this occasion half is for the front and half for behind, and it is rubbed in in front.] 87. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his right thigh.
88. “Thou shalt sprinkle on his right thigh. 89. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his left thigh.

* Reading srînak, as in Pahl. Vend. VIII, 178-182; but here the word is four times written sinak.
* Or, perhaps, 'prominence' is meant, as in $ 90; although the two words gûyak and gôhâk are written differently, they refer probably to the same part.
