When she is about to deliver the child, he sprinkles her with water, repeating the following mantra: As the wind agitates a pond on every side, even so let your foetus stir and come out along with the chorion. Indra (prana) made a path when the seed entered the womb. O Indra, follow that path and come out with the foetus and the covering and cause also the after birth to come forth with the babe.<\/p>\n
When the son is born, he should light a fire, take the child on his lap, put a mixture of curds and clarified butter in a bell-metal cup and offer oblations in the fire repeatedly, uttering the mantra: May I increase as the son in my own home and support a thousand people! May the Goddess of Fortune never depart, with children and cattle, from his line! Svaha! The vital breath that is in me, I mentally offer to you. Svaha! If I have done anything too much or too little in this ceremony, may the all-knowing and highly beneficent fire make it just right and proper for me. Svaha!<\/p>\n

Next he would mix together curds, honey and clarified butter and feed the child with a golden stick which is not placed inside the mouth, saying these mantras: I put the earth (Bhuh) into you; I put the sky (Bhuvah) into you; I put heaven (Svah) into you. The whole of earth, sky and heaven I put into you.<\/p>\n
