Now when the bride is to be carried away (to the bridegroom's house) that night, or on the next, or on the third night,\n2 2. On that night, when (the darkness of) night is gone, they wash the girl up to her head with (water that has been made fragrant by) all sorts of herbs and the choicest fruits together with scents;\n3. They put on her a newly-dyed garment or (a new one) which has not yet been washed;\n4 4. Then (the \u00c2k\u00e2rya of the bride's family) makes the girl sit down behind the fire, and while she takes hold of him he sacrifices with the Mah\u00e2vy\u00e2hritis, and then he makes \u00c2gya oblations to Agni, to Soma, to Prag\u00e2pati, to Mitra, to Varuna, to Indra, to Indr\u00e2n\u00ee, to the Gandharva, to Bhaga, to P\u00fbshan, to Tvashtar, to Brihaspati, to the king Praty\u00e2n\u00eeka.\n5. After they have regaled four or eight women, who are not widows, with lumps of vegetables, Sur\u00e2, and food, these should perform a dance four times.\n6.
