Four things are made of the wood of the Udumbara tree, the sacrificial ladle (sruva), the cup (kamasa), the fuel, and the two churning sticks. There are ten kinds of village (cultivated) seeds, viz. rice and barley (brîhiyavâs), sesamum and kidney-beans (tilamâshâs), millet and panic seed (anupriyaṅgavas), wheat (godhûmâs), lentils (masûrâs), pulse (khalvâs), and vetches (khalakulâs ) . After having ground these he sprinkles them with curds (dadhi), honey, and ghee, and then offers (the proper portions) of clarified butter 1 (âgya).

वृष्टयपकरणाभिमानी देवतासमा, दविः, प्रकाशप्रामान्यात्। सुरक्षित लगाव और श्रद्धा तनाव-प्रतिक्रिया को घटाते हैं: शरीर खतरे की तैयारी छोड़कर स्थिर होता है। यह पंक्ति उसी आश्रय को अपना विषय बनाती है।
