अथाभिप्रातरेव काले अवघातनिर्वृत्तान् तण्डुलानादाय स्थालीपाकावृता स्थालीपाकविधिना, आज्यं चेष्ट्वा, आज्यसंस्कारं कृत्वा, चरुं श्रपयित्वा, स्थालीपाकस्य आहुतीः जुहोति, उपघातम् उपहत्योपहत्य 'अग्नये स्वाहा' इत्याद्याः ।गार्ह्यः सर्वो विधिः द्रष्टव्यः अत्र ; हुत्वा उद्धृत्य चरुशेषं प्राश्नाति ; स्वयं प्राश्य इतरस्याः पत्न्यै प्रयच्छति उच्छिष्टम् ।प्रक्षाल्य पाणी आचम्य उदपात्रं पूरयित्वा तेनोदकेन एनां त्रिर्अभ्युक्षति अनेन मन्त्रेण 'उत्तिष्ठातः' इति, सकृन्मन्त्रोच्चारणम् ॥

In plain words

Early the next morning, he takes the rice that has just been pounded and follows the sthālīpāka procedure step by step: he offers the ghee, purifies it, cooks the rice-oblation, and pours it into the fire, striking the ladle again and again — 'to Agni, svāhā,' and on through the rest. The whole household rite is understood to belong here. Once he has made the offering, he lifts out a portion and eats it; then, having eaten, he hands what remains to the other wife. He washes his hands, rinses his mouth, fills the water-vessel, and sprinkles her three times with it, speaking the mantra 'rise up from here' — spoken only once.

Close to the Sanskrit

Now, early in the morning itself, taking the rice-grains produced by pounding, [the procedure] governed by the rite of sthālīpāka, by the method of sthālīpāka — having offered the ghee-oblation, having performed the purification of the ghee, having had the caru cooked — he offers the oblations of the sthālīpāka, striking [the ladle] again and again, [with] 'to Agni, svāhā' and so on. The whole household procedure is to be understood here; having offered, having taken out [a portion], he eats the remainder of the caru; having eaten it himself, he gives the leftover to the other wife. Having washed his hands, having rinsed his mouth, having filled the water-vessel, he sprinkles her thrice with that water, by this mantra, 'rise up from here' — a single recitation of the mantra.
