46. He (the Adhvaryu) performs the three Samishtayajus (with the respective texts); the Pratiprasthatri takes up his spoon (and performs those oblations) silently.—The same garments, worn by the sacrificer and his wife at the Vaishvadeva, should be put on also on this occasion. They now take (the havis) mixed with the burnt scrapings of the Varuna curds, and betake themselves to (the place of) the expiatory bath (avabhritha). This (ablution) stands in relation to Varuna, (being performed) with a view to deliverance from Varuna’s power. No Saman-hymn is sung on this occasion, for at this (sacrifice) nothing whatever is performed with a Saman-hymn. Having silently walked thither and entered (the water), he (the Adhvaryu) immerses (the vessel containing the scrapings).
