तत्रापि पूर्वतः कुर्यादग्निकार्यं विमत्सरः। उभाभ्यामपि हस्ताभ्यामाहृत्य परिवेषयेत्१५० 1.9.
There, as before, one should perform the fire ritual without envy, and serve the offerings, having brought them with both hands.
उशन्तस्त्वेति तं दर्भं पाणिभक्तं विशेषतः। गुणान्वितैश्च शाकाद्यैर्नानाभक्ष्यैस्तथैव च
But while reciting 'uśantastv', one should especially offer that darbha grass with the hand, along with various excellent vegetables and other foods.

Rice mixed with curd, milk, cow's ghee, and sugar pleases all the ancestors for a whole month, so declares Padmaja.

दत्तमक्षयमित्याहुः पितरः पूर्वदेवताः। स्वाध्यायं श्रावयेत्पित्र्यं पुराणान्यखिलानि च
The ancestors, the former gods, say that what is given in this way is inexhaustible; one should have the recitation of the Veda, the ancestral rites, and all the Purāṇas performed.

Having received blessings from the Brahmins, as is proper, he should say, 'May the ancestors be gentle,' and the Brahmins should respond in turn.
गोत्रं तथा वर्द्धतां तु तथेत्युक्तश्च तैः पुनः। स्वस्तिवाचनकं कुर्यात्पिंडानुद्धृत्य भक्तितः
Likewise, when he says, 'May the lineage increase,' and they reply, 'So be it,' he should perform the benediction, having respectfully removed the rice balls.
