Call him with devotion and honour him with cloth, scent and flowers. Have him do the puja (worship) at the feet of the cow and calf.
होमं च कारयेत्तत्र समिदाज्यचरूत्कटम् ।
Do a homa (fire offering) there, rich with samidh (sacred firewood), ghee and charu (rice offering). Say the Vedic mantra that begins "somo dhenuh"…
प्राङ्मुखायोपविष्टाय प्रदद्यात्तामुदङ्मुखः ।
The giver faces north and gives her to the priest, who sits facing east. He lays his hand on her tail and says this mantra by the rule.
