29. (The one or the other) together with milkrice.
30. Or (only) milk-rice.

32. He should take eight portions (of that mixture) and should sacrifice (the following eight oblations):
33. The first (verse, accompanying the first oblation), is, ' Vastoshpati !' (MB. II, 6, 1).
34. (Then follow) the (three) verses of the Vâmadevya,
35. (And the three) Mahâvyâhritis.
36. The last (oblation is offered with the formula), "To Pragàpati (svaha).'
37. After he has sacrificed, he should offer ten Balis,

39. And in the intermediate points, 40. In due order, without a transposition.
41. (He should offer a Bali) in the east with (the formula), • (Adoration) to Indra!' in the intermediate direction—'To Vayu !' in the south—“To Yama!' in the intermediate direction—(Svadha) to the Fathers!' in the west-'(Adoration) to Varuna !' in the intermediate direction - 'To Mahårå ga!' in the north—'To Soma!' in the intermediate direction - To Mahendra !' down
34. Comp. above, chap. 6, 7 note.
36. The commentary says: "The last oblation should be offered with the formula, “To Pra gâpati svâhå !"! Probably we ought to correct the text, Pragapata ity uttamâ, the last (verse) is, "Pragâpatil” (MB. II, 5, 8);' see above, IV, 6, 9; KhâdiraGribya IV, 2, 30.
