Transliteration
anyāṃścaivaṃvidhānsarvānnayajñīyāṃśca varjayet / svadheti caiva mantrāṇāṃ pitṝṇāṃ vacanaṃ yathā / svāheti caiva devānāṃ yajñakarmaṇyudāhṛtam
Translation
In this way, all other things of such kind, unfit for yajña, should be avoided. In the mantras for the Pitṛs the utterance is ‘svadhā’, while in sacrificial acts for the Devas it is declared as ‘svāhā’.
