Every day in the evening and in the morning,\n3. He establishes the fire (in its proper place), wipes (with his hand the ground) round (it), sprinkles (water) round (it), bends his right knee,\n4 4. (And puts fuel on the fire with the texts,) 'To Agni I have brought a piece of wood, to the great G\u00e2tavedas; may he, G\u00e2tavedas, give faith and insight to me. Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!\n'Firewood art thou; may we prosper. Fuel art thou; splendour art thou; put splendour into me. Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!\n'Being inflamed make me prosperous in offspring and wealth. Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!\nThine is this fuel, Agni; thereby thou shalt grow and gain vigour. And may we grow and gain vigour. Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!'\n5. Having then sprinkled (water) round (the fire),\n6. He approaches the fire with the verse, 'May Agni (vouchsafe) to me faith and insight, not-forgetting (what I have learned) and memory; may this praiseful G\u00e2tavedas give blessing to us.'\n[7 7. He makes with ashes the tripundhra sign (the sign of three strokes) which is set forth in the (treatise on the) Sauparnavrata, which is revealed, which agrees with the tradition handed down by the ancients, with the five formulas 'The threefold age' (see above, I, 28, 9), one by one, on five (places), viz. the forehead, the heart, the right shoulder and the left, and then on the back.]\n8. He who approaches the fire after having sacrificed thus, studies of these Vedas, one, two, three, or all.\n75:4 N\u00e2r\u00e2yana: samidham iti mantrali\u1e45g\u00e2t samidh\u00e2m homah, mantraprithaktv\u00e2t karmaprithaktvam iti ny\u00e2y\u00e2t.\nIn the Atharva-veda XIX, 64, 1 the MSS. have Agne samidham \u00e2h\u00e2rsham. Professors Roth and Whitney have conjectured in this passage agre instead of Agne. It is shown by our passage and the corresponding ones in the other S\u00fbtras that the true reading is Agnaye. Instead of ah\u00e2rsham we should read \u00e2h\u00e2rsham, as all the parallel texts have. In the passage 'Firewood art thou; might we prosper,' there is a play upon words untranslatable in English, 'edho\u093dsy edhish\u00eemahi.' Perhaps instead of samiddho m\u00e2m samardhaya we should read samriddho m\u00e2m samardhaya. As the Mantra referred to the Samidh-offering, samriddha could very easily be supplanted by the participle of sam-idh. In the parallel texts indicated p. 139 of the German edition it should be, V\u00e2g. Samh. II, 14 a.\n76:7 This S\u00fbtra is wanting in one of the Haug MSS. and in the S\u00e2mbavya MS.; R\u00e2makandra's Paddhati takes no notice of it. I take it for a later addition. It should be noticed that the words dakshinaskandhe . . . ka pa\u00f1kasu form a half Sloka.","title":"Grihya Sutras, Part 1 (SBE29): S\u00e2\u1e45kh\u00e2yana-Grihya-S\u00fbtra: II, 10","type":"page"}
