All ministrations in the festivals cited are to be done to the immovable idol [mūlabera] as well as the sacred fire-pit [homakuṇḍa] and subsidiary deities (64-65). A few additional directions are recorded, and the chapter ends with the rewards [phala] to those who supervise such undertaking (66-69).
