1. 1 He then should take away the remnants of the Havis in a northern direction, should take them out (of the vessel in which they are), and should give them to the Brahman. 2. He should try to satiate him. 3. They say indeed with regard to sacrifice: 'Through the Brâhmana's being satiated (with sacrificial food) I become satiated myself.' 4. Then (he should give to the Brahman) what other food has just become ready. 5. Then he should try to gain the favour of Brâhmanas by (gifts of) food. 6. 6 A full vessel constitutes the fee for the sacrifice; that he should give to the Brahman. 7. A brazen vessel or a wooden cup which has been filled with food, with prepared food or with raw food, or even only with fruits: this they call a full vessel. 8. 8 The Brahman is the only officiating priest at the Pâkayagñas. 9. (The sacrificer) himself is Hotri. 10. A full vessel (see Sûtra 7) is the lowest sacrificial fee at a Pâkayagña. 11. The highest is unlimited. 12. 12 Thus Sudâs Paigavana, after having offered the sacrifice of a mess of cooked food to Indra and
15. During that interval he should try to obtain sacrificial food or to find a sacrificer. 16. 16 Or (if he does not succeed in this) he should cook fruits or leaves of trees or herbs which are sacrificially pure, and should sacrifice them. 17. Or he should at least sacrifice water; thus has said Pâkayagña, the son of Idâ. For (even if he offers only water) the sacrifice has been performed. 18. 18 And there is an expiation for one who has not sacrificed.
23. For thus also his vow has been duly kept. 24. 24 These rules (which have been given with regard to the sacrifices of the full and new moon) are valid for the Havis oblations which will be stated hereafter. 25. 25 After the end of the Mantra follows the word Svâhâ. 26. 26 At Âgya oblations he should only prepare that Âgya (chap. 7, 28) and should sacrifice it, picking out portions of it. (He should) not (sacrifice) the two Âgya portions nor the Svishtakrit. 27. 27 At Âgya oblations he should, if no special rule is given, sacrifice with the Mahâvyâhritis before and after (the chief ceremonies).
29. 29 At the end of the ceremony the Vâmadevya is sung for the sake of averting evil. The Vâmadevya is sung for the sake of averting evil. End of the First Prapâthaka.

The native authorities divide these two Sûtras after ritvik; I propose to divide after pâkayagñeshu. 38:12 The commentary here refers to the rule of the Drâhyâyana-sûtra (= Lâtyâyana VIII, I, 2): samkhyâmâtre ka dakshinâ gâvah. 39:14 14 seq. Khâdira-Grihya II, 2, 5 seq.; Sâṅkhâyana-Grihya I, 3, 6. 39:16 16 seqq. Khâdira-Grihya II, 2, 10 seqq. In this teacher Pâkayagña, son of Idâ, whose opinion on the performance of certain Pâkayagñas is here stated, we have of course to see a fictitious sage of the same kind with the well-known Rishi Pragâtha, to whom the authorship of a number of Sûktas in the Pragâtha book (Rig-veda, Mandala VIII) is ascribed. 39:18 18, 19. By the repetition of iti these Sûtras seem to be characterised as continuing the statement of Pâkayagña's opinion; comp. Dr. Knauer's Introduction, p. xviii. As to Sûtra 18, comp. Sâṅkhâyana-Grihya I, 3, 9. 40:22 'He should count the omitted (oblations), should pour the corresponding number of oblations into his vessel, and should sacrifice them in the due way all at once with one Mantra. In the same way also the other oblations (belonging to other gods).' Karmapradîpa. 40:24 Is Havis here used as opposed to Âgya (Sûtra 26), in the same way in which Kâtyâyana says (Sraut. I, 9, 1. 20): 'vrîhîn yavân vâ havishi; ubhayata âgyam havishah'? Comp. below, III, 8, 10; Âsvalâyana-Grihya I, 10, 26. 40:25 Khâdira-Grihya I, 1, 15. 40:26 As to upaghâtam, comp. the note on chap. 8, 2. 40:27 Sâṅkhâyana-Grihya I, 12, 13; Khâdira-Grihya I, 3, 12-13, where the traditional division of the Sûtras differs from that which is supported by tradition in the text of Gobhila. Gobhila has used 41:29 Apavritte karmani should be corrected into apavrikte karmani, as has been noticed in the Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. apa-vart. The Sâṅkhâyana-Grihya I, 2, 1 says karmâpavarge.
