Now, next, the father-and-son ceremony or the transmission, as they call it. A father, about to depart, calls his son. Having strewn the house with new grass, having built up the fire, having placed near it a vessel of water with a jug, himself covered with a fresh garment the father remains lying. Having come, the son lies down on top touching organs with organs. Or (the father) may transmit to him seated face to face. Then he delivers over to him (thus): Father: My speech in you I would place. Son: I take your speech in me. Father: My breath in you I would place. Son: I take your breath in me. Father: My eye in you I would place. Son: I take your eye in me. Father: My ear in you I would place. Son: I take your ear in me. Father: My tastes of food in you I would place. Son: I take your tastes of food in me. Father: My deeds in you I would place. Son: I take your deeds in me. Father: My pleasure and pain in you I would place. Son: I take your pleasure and pain in me. Father: My bliss, delight, procreation in you I would place. Son: I take your bliss, delight and procreation in me. Father: My movement in you I would place. Son: I take your movement in me. Father: My mind in you I would place. Son: I take your mind in me. Father: My intelligence in you I would place. Son: I take your intelligence in me. If, however, he should be unable to speak much, let the father say summarily, 'My vital breaths in you I would place' and the son (reply) 'Your vital breaths I take in me'. Then turning to the right, he goes towards the east. The father calls out after him: 'My glory, sacred luster and fame delight in you'. Then the other looks over his left shoulder. Having hid (his face) with his hand or having covered (it) with the edge of his garment, he says: 'May you obtain heavenly worlds and all desires'. If the father should become well, he should dwell under the lordship of his son; or, he should wander (as a mendicant). If, however, he should die let them perform obsequies as they should be performed.
