Vibhavasu (The Sun) said : There are two offerings. One of these consists of a palmful of water and the other called Akshata consists of rice grains with clarified butter. One should on the day of the full moon, stand facing that bright orb and make to him the two offerings mentioned viz., a palmful of water and the rice grains with clarified butter called Akshata. The man who presents these offerings is said to worship his sacred fire. Indeed, he is considered as one who has poured libations the three (principal) fires.
