6While the barley is being cooked, he should guard it by reciting: ‘Homage to Rudra, the lord of creatures! The sky is appeased’; the passage: ‘Unfurl your strength like a net spread out . . .’; the five refrains:

The fiend-slaying gods seated in the east led by Fire—may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā!

The fiend-slaying gods seated in the south led by Yama—may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā!

The fiend-slaying gods seated in the west led by Savitr̥—may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā!

The fiend-slaying gods seated in the north led by Varuṇa—may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā!

The fiend-slaying gods seated in the zenith led by Br̥haspati—may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā! (TS 1.8.7.1);

and the two formulas: ‘Do not hurt us in our children . . .’; and ‘The Brahman-priest of the gods . . .’

7When it is cooked, let him eat a little of it, after purifying himself and serving it on a plate. 8He should offer it in his self, reciting:

The gods born from the mind, united with the mind, of keen wisdom, and sons of wisdom— may they guard us, may they aid us! To them, homage! To them, Svāhā! (TS 1.2.3.1)
