The spit-ox (sacrificed to Rudra).\n2 2. It procures (to the sacrificer) heavenly rewards, cattle, sons, wealth, renown, long life.\n3 8_3. Having taken the sacred domestic fire to the\nforest, and having performed the 'outspreading,' he should sacrifice the animal to Rudra.\n4. One that is not gelded.\n5 5. Or (it may be) a cow, on account of the designation.\n6 6. Having cooked the omentum, a mess of sacrificial food, and the portions cut off (of the victim), he sacrifices the omentum to Rudra, the fat to the Air, and the cut-off portions together with the mess of cooked food to Agni, Rudra, Sarva, Pasupati, Ugra, Asani, Bhava, Mah\u00e2deva, \u00ces\u00e2na.\n7. (Then follows a sacrifice to) Vanaspati.\n8. (To Agni) Svishtakrit at the end.\n9 9. Then (follows) the sprinkling round to the different quarters (of the horizon).\n10 10. After the sprinkling has been performed, they sacrifice the Patn\u00ee-samy\u00e2ga offerings to Indr\u00e2n\u00ee, Rudr\u00e2n\u00ee, Sarv\u00e2ni, Bhav\u00e2n\u00ee, and Agni Grihapati.\n11 11. The blood he offers in leaves, on (grass-) bunches, as a Bali to Rudra and to his hosts, with (the Mantras),\n'The hosts, Rudra, which thou hast to the east, to them this Bali (is given). To them and to thee be adoration!\n'The hosts, Rudra, which thou hast to the south . . . to the west . . . to the north . . . upwards . . .\ndownwards, to them this Bali (is given). To them and to thee be adoration!'\n12 12. The contents of the stomach and of the entrails, besmeared with blood, he throws into the fire or buries them in the earth.\n13 13. Having placed the animal so that the wind blows from himself to it, he approaches it with the Rudra hymns, or with the first and last Anuv\u00e2ka.\n14. They do not take anything of that animal to the village.\n15 15. Thereby (also) the cow-sacrifice has been declared.\n16. (It is combined) with (the offering of) milk-rice; (the rites) not corresponding (to that special occasion) are omitted.\n17. The sacrificial fee at that (sacrifice) is a cow of the same age (as the victim).\n351:1 8, 1. \u00c2sval\u00e2yana-Grihya IV, 8.\n351:2 \u00c2sval\u00e2yana, loc. cit. \u00a7 35.\n351:8_3 The 'outspreading' is the establishing of the three sacred Srauta fires, so that the Grihya fire is considered as the G\u00e2rhapatya, and the \u00c2havan\u00eeya and Dakshin\u00e2gni are taken from it.\n352:5 On account of the designation of the sacrifice as s\u00fbla-gava.\n352:6 \u00c2sval\u00e2yana, loc. cit. \u00a7 19.\n352:9 Gayar\u00e2ma: dis\u00e2m vy\u00e2gh\u00e2ranam kartavyam iti s\u00fbtraseshah. tak ka vasay\u00e2 bhavati yath\u00e2gnishom\u00eeye.\n352:10 On the Patn\u00ee-samy\u00e2ga offerings, so called because they are chiefly directed to the wives of the gods, see Hillebrandt, Neu- und Vollmondsopfer, pp. 151 seqq.\n352:11 \u00c2sval\u00e2yana, loc. cit. \u00a7 22.\n353:12 As to \u00fbvadhya, comp. \u00c2sval\u00e2yana, \u00a7 28.\n353:13 The Rudra hymns form the sixteenth Adhy\u00e2ya of the V\u00e2gasaneyi Samhit\u00e2.
