अर्थMeaning
If a man wishes to reach greatness (wealth for performing sacrifices), he performs the upasad rule during twelve days (i. e. he lives on small quantities of milk), beginning on an auspicious day of the light half of the moon during the northern progress of the sun, collecting at the same time in a cup or a dish made of Udumbara wood all sorts of herbs, including fruits. He sweeps the floor (near the house-altar, âvasathya), sprinkles it, lays the fire, spreads grass round it according to rule , prepares the clarified butter (âgya), and on a day, presided over by a male star (nakshatra), after having properly mixed the Mantha (the herbs, fruits, milk, honey, &c.), he sacrifices (he pours âgya into the fire), saying : 'O Gâtavedas, whatever adverse gods there are in thee, who defeat the desires of men, to them I offer this portion; may they, being pleased, please me with all desires.' Svâhâ! 'That cross deity who lies down , thinking that all things are kept asunder by her, I worship thee as propitious with this stream of ghee.' Svâhâ!

व्याख्याVyakhya
जो चाहे कि मैं महत्त्व प्राप्त करूँ, वह उत्तरायण में, शुक्ल पक्ष के पुण्य दिन से, बारह दिन तक उपसद्-व्रत रहकर, औदुम्बर काँस या चमस में सब ओषधियाँ और फल इकट्ठे करे। चारों ओर बुहारकर, लीपकर, अग्नि प्रज्वलित करके, कुश बिछाकर, आज्य को तैयार करके, पुरुष नक्षत्र में मन्थ मिलाकर आहुति देता है: 'हे जातवेदाः, तुझमें जितने तिर्यक् देव पुरुष की कामनाओं को मारते हैं, उन्हें मैं यह भाग देता हूँ। वे तृप्त होकर सब कामों से मुझे तृप्त करें। स्वाहा।' 'जो तिरछी लेटती है और मानती है कि मैं सबको अलग रखने वाली हूँ, उस तुझको मैं घृत की धारा से सँराधनी (मिलाने वाली) रूप में यजन करता हूँ। स्वाहा।'
