Bṛhaspati said: One should not allow the right knee to touch the ground; a person practising Yoga should not utter words. Hence one should propitiate the parents after duly wearing the Darbha grass round the ring finger and after being surrounded (? by gingelly seeds.). Thus he pleases the Pitṛs. After getting the consent of the Brāhmaṇas at the outset, one should duly perform rites in the sacred fire Called Agnau-Karaṇa.
