Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Prāgukta…" and the rest. Then, in the fire consecrated by the procedure given earlier, the guru, having offered the oblation given in his own kalpa (the one prescribed in his own tradition of ritual), should call the disciple and have him offer the sākalya, the mixed oblation, into the fire.
