The devatās and demons then observed a fast, and after bathing, they offered clarified butter into the fire and gave charity to the cows, the brāhmaṇas and other living entities, as they deserved. Thereafter, the devatās and demons performed ritualistic ceremonies under the directions of the brāhmaṇas. Then they dressed themselves with new garments, decorated their bodies with ornaments, and sat on seats made of kuśa grass with tips facing east. They fasted before drinking the nectar, which was an auspicious act. They did this after quarrelling, seeing Mohinī, and then discussing with her. They then took a bath. According to their liking they put on new (āhatāni) clothing. Āhata means cloth fresh from the loom. This is best for all auspicious occasions. They sat on kūśa with tips facing east.
