Nandin said: By Brahmayajña all the Devas including Indra, Lords Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva, all the Vedas and Pitṛs are pleased. No doubt need be entertained in this respect. The brahmin who is adept in Brahmayajña when he goes out of his village out of sight of hundreds of huts, shall turn towards the east, north or north-east[7] and then perform the sacred rite of Ācamana for the sake of Brahmayajña. For propitiating the Ṛks, O brahmins, he shall fill the cup of his palm and drink water thrice.
