It is prescribed that offerings should be made to each god in his own place; individual and common offerings are made starting with that to Brahmä.²
Individual offerings
The place of Brahma is to be honoured with perfumes and garlands, incense, milk, honey and ghee, rice boiled in milk and roasted rice. The offering at the place of Aryaka is a cake of fruits as well as cooked beans and sesame seeds. Curd is prescribed for Vivasvant, durva grass for Mitra and for Mahidhara, milk. These are the offerings to the (gods) of the interior.
(At the place of) Parjanya the offering should be clarified butter and at that of Aindra, fresh butter and flowers. Entrails and flowers are the offerings for Indra, honey and onions for Bhaskara and, for Satyaka, honey. Fresh butter is offered to Bhrsa; the offering to Gagana is beans and orpiment, that to Vahni, milk, ghee and tagara powder and the offering to Puşan is vegetables and milk. An offering of cooked kanku is prescribed for Vitatha, one of intoxicating juice for Räksasa, of vegetables and boiled rice for Yama and, for Gandharva, an offering of pure perfume.
Sea fish is offered to Bhrgaraja and rice with fish to Mrsa. A sesame oil cake is offered to Nirrti" and a seed (of sesame) to Dauvärika, a cake is offered to Sugriva and, to Puspadanta, flowers and water. Rice and milk is the offering intended for Varuna and, for Asura, blood. The offering to Sosa should be rice with sesame, to Roga, dried fish, to Väyu, fat and orpiment and to Näga, wine and roasted rice. Flour, curds and ghee should be offered to Mukhya, to Bhallata, cooked rice with molasses and, to Soma, milk rice. Dried meat is to be offered to Mrga, cake to the Mother of the gods, sesame rice to Uditi and rice and ghee to Išaka.
Roasted rice is required for Savindra and perfumed water for Sävindra, for Indra and Indraraja, goat's fat and crushed beans, for Rudra and Rudrajaya, meat and fat and, for Apa and Apavatsa, lotus and the flesh of shellfish and tortoise.
The offering to Caraki is wine and roasted rice, to Vidări it is salt, to Putana, pista and, to the last (who is Paparakṣasi), bean water.
The common offering
5-17 All the gods in succession should then be presented with the common offering which consists of pure food with ghee and curds and

of perfumes (etc.). A young girl or a courtesan should be called to carry the offerings; she will first have purified her mind by means of impositions on limbs and hands.
After each deity has been hailed by name with a formula beginning 'OM' and ending 'NAMAS' and after water has been offered, the common offering should be made and then that appropriate to each god; next water is again offered. It is thus that the sages proceed at the time of the founding of villages and other settlements, using manduka or paramaśayin diagrams.?
The gods being appeased thus one after the other, according to the ritual, they should be dismissed with a formula in order that the layout of the construction may be set up.
Brahma and the exterior deities are to be installed, each in his place; (their positions) are intended for temples and gateways.10 The others, and all those without specific positions, are assigned to protect the site,
The secret ritual pertaining to villages... etc. has thus been revealed.
At dawn, the architect, having fasted, purified his mind and under stood all things, must apportion amongst the gods the common and particular offerings according to the rules given above.
