After spreading kuśa grass around the pit and sprinkling water around it, one should offer wood into the fire according to the prescribed rules. Then one should arrange the items to be offered as oblations and should sanctify them with water from the sprinkling vessel. The worshiper should next meditate upon me within the fire. Surrounding the pit with kuśa grass, one should then sprinkle water around the pit. One should offer wood in the fire (anvādhāya) uttering the vyāhṛtis (oṁ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ). Placing materials to the north of the fire, one should sprinkle them with prokṣaṇa water and then meditate on my presence in the fire.
