[The officiant] should remove the extraneous thing carefully. If [someone] scratches his shoulder (spṛśyamāna—sphaṇake spṛśyamāne), [the officiant] should prognosticate an extraneous thing related to the shoulder (?), which is at a depth up to the [shoulder (?)]. If he knows it correctly, he should remove it. [...]”.
