Having sprinkled (water) round (the fire) and poured Agya on the mess of cooked food, he begins to sacrifice simply with the pot-ladle, picking out portions of the sacrificial food (without ‘ underspreading’ and pouring Agya over the Havis). 3. If he intends, however, to sacrifice so as to ‘underspread’ (the Havis with Agya) and to pour (Agya) over it, let him sacrifice first the two Agya portions (in the following way) : 4.

Now for the Svish¢akvzt (oblation), after having ‘spread under’ (Agya), he cuts off once a very big (Avad4na) from the eastern part of the northern part (of the Havis). Twice he should sprinkle (Agya) on it. 12. But if he (belongs to the families who) make five Avadanas, he should ‘spread under’ twice, and cut off (the Avadana), and sprinkle (Agya) on it twice. 13.

Having cut off (the Avadanas) for all (the single sacrifices), he sacrifices the Svish¢fakrzt oblation only once. 19.
