After the Nandi Shraddha, the Brahmachari should cat only in the company of his mother. Likewise the bridegroom should eat always along with his wife after marriage. The bridegroom should have his hair cut as per the custom ‘in his family. The sacred fire kindled in Upanayana is inferior to the Grihya fire. When the ordinary fire is mixed with the sacred fire, it should be worshipped with the mantra beginning with ‘Pahi’ (protect me). It should be worshipped thus only by the learned, not by those who have no relationship with the boy.
