Performing ablutions thrice a day, adoring the departed Manes and the celestial, pouring libations on the sacred fire, performing of those sacrifices and rites called Ishti-Homa, picking up the grains of Nivara-paddy, eating fruits and roots, and using oil that is pressed out from Inguda and castor seeds, form their duties.
त्रिकालमभिषेकं च पितृदेवार्चनं तथा। अग्निहोत्रपरिस्यन्द इष्टिहोमविधिस्तथा।॥ नीवारग्रहणं चैव फलमूलनिषेवणम्। इङ्गुदैरण्डतैलानां स्नेहार्थं च निषेवणम्॥
