________________ 440 APPENDIX. 78. “Thou shalt sprinkle on his left side ; [this, moreover, is because one specially recites for ever on that side.] 79. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his right hip'. 80. “Thou shalt sprinkle on his right hip. 81. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his left hip. 82. Thou shalt sprinkle on his left hip, [just as it is turned, as far as to the hollow of it (guyak-i valman) below the thigh.] 83. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his sexual part. 84. Thou shalt sprinkle on his sexual part. 85. 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. 90. 'Thou shalt sprinkle on his left thigh, (from the prominence (gôhâk) below the thigh to the knee.] 91. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his right knee. 92. 'Thou shalt sprinkle on his right knee. 93. Then the fiend of corruption rushes upon his left knee. * 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.
