But before the sacrifices of the new and full moon one should make offerings to the deities of the Anvârambhaniya ceremony. 7. The time for the new moon sacrifice is not elapsed until the full moon, nor that for the full moon sacrifice until the new moon. 8. And some say that the morning oblation may be made at the time of the evening oblation, in the case of danger. 9. But the time is fixed, as at the Agnihotra an expiation has been prescribed for him who has neglected the time. 10. At the two daily oblations one should use as sacrificial food either rice or barley or grains. 11. In case these are not at hand, other (sorts of sacrificial food are) not prohibited. 12. Some say that if he uses grains, he should wash them. 13. With the other (kinds of food) no such preparation takes place. 5. On the avadânadharmâs comp.
