Next he mixes in a copper pot this rice with various flavours such as ghee, milk, wheat, sour milk, and molasses. Near this pot he gets ready a piece of gold, a book, clods of earth, etc, as per the family’s custom, and having done the sipping and the sprinkling with pacifying water he should feed the child with the first solid food while reciting the two verses of the hymn “Propitious to thee be the rice and barley” (PS 16.4.8-9). “Propitious to thee be rice and barley, free from balAsa, causing no burning; these drive off the yakshama; these free from distress. What thou eatest, what thou drinkest, of grain, milk of the ploughing what should be eaten, what should not be eaten all food I make for thee poisonless.” (PS 16.4.8-9) Next, with the verse “Both to day and to night” (PS 16.4.10), having uttered “I commend you to day and night!”, he should feed the child the first bite for the sake of the day and night. This is the second feeding. “Both to day and to night, to them both we commit thee. Defend ye this man for me from the Arayas that seek to devour him .” (PS 16.4.10) Next, with the mantra “Unto autumn thee” (PS 16.5.2), having uttered “I commend you to the seasons!” he gives the child a bite. This is the third feeding. “Unto autumn, unto winter, unto spring, unto summer, we commit thee; [be] the rains pleasant to thee, in which the herbs grow.” (PS 16.5.2) Next, he should feed the child as per the latter’s capacity. Afterwards he should offer the child gold, etc. The thing that child grasps, that is his share, thus it is known. Next, he should perform the second part of the tantra, which is prescribed by the nakshatra kalpa , and the recitation of auspicious verses. Nevertheless people put only rice and barley in a copper pot and so on and with the hymn “Propitious to thee be the rice and barley” (PS 16.4.8-9) perform the first feeding.
