The word “completion” (anta) is merely a confirmation of something established, because (the place of the offering) is already fixed by the place of the rule. But others explain the word “ante” to mean ‘“‘at the end of the Aandréyana.” The word “and” does not agree with their (opinion).’— Haradatta. 8. Haradatta observes that on the days when the performer eats less than fifteen mouthfuls, the later mentioned texts must be left out, and that, while eating, the performer must employ the Prazahuti Mantras (Apastamba Il, 1, 1,2 note). He concludes by giving the following prayoga for the performance of the ceremony: ‘He ‘places all the food in his dish, and consecrates it by the texts “Increase,” &c. Next he divides it into mouthfuls, and consecrates each successively with the word Om and the rest, and eats them, reciting the texts for the Prazahutis.’ 9. Haradatta states that either of the two words may be used in consecrating all the mouthfuls, but that others think, both should be used. 10. Yagaavalkya III, 324.
