He should then make a homa (fire offering) with sesame, grain and rice. O Goddess, he should offer a tenth part in the fire. Then comes tarpana…
गोदानं च ततः कुर्यात् दशवर्णं विशेषतः ॥
Then, above all, he should make a gift of cows: a dashavarna (a gift of ten colours). One bull is to be given, with gold on its horns and with cloth.
ततो वै ब्राह्मणान्देवि भोजयेद्विधिपूर्वकम् ॥
Then, O Goddess, he should feed brahmins by the rule. After the meal he should give a gift of gold as the fee.
