He should place a pot there, on five drona (grain measure) of sesame. On top of the pot he should set the fine banner and noose.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सहिरण्यं द्वयं तत्तु ब्राह्मणाय निवेदयेत् ।
He should offer the two, with gold, to a priest. The pot is wrapped in cloth and honoured with scent, flowers and unbroken rice grains.
श्रुतवृत्तसमग्राय श्रोत्रियाय कुटुंबिने ।
He should offer it to a learned priest of good conduct, a student of the Veda who has a family. It is given to please Varuna and Vayu (god of wind).
नमः पाशभृते तुभ्यं नमो द्विजवराय ते ।
Bow to you who hold the noose. Bow to you, best of the twice-born. Bow to you, lord of the waters, and to you who are dear to Vayu.
