Then, having spent the rest of the night, the Acharya should get up in the fresh and pure early
morning and take bath along with the assisting priests(murtipas), as done before. Having
rendered his body to be composed of mantras, he should enter the sacrificial pavilion. The

अन्येषां चैव सर्वेषां पूर्ववद्दक्षिणा भवेत्।
