The glorious lord said: Homa shall be performed in the Kuṇḍa of the lord or on the bare ground with ghee, etc. beginning with the east(?). Sacrificial twigs, ghee, caru, fried grains or Śāli or Nīvāra rice grains shall be used for Homa. After pouring hundred and eight āhutis the king shall be rendered fragrant with the odorous smoke. Puṇyāha water shall be sprinkled repeating the Svastirudra mantra. A holy golden thread shall be tied round the right hand and Bhasman shall be dusted over it with lotus stalk.
