srI:

Sriman Anbil Swamin,

dasoham. The upAkarma Special Issue describes Yajur upAkarma procedure,

which is not stated in the issue. The upAkarma procedure is different

for Rig and Sama Vedins. Let others note. Sri Mani Varadarajan described

the upAkarma procedure in http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/rituals/upakarma/

In that the sankalpam for the day should be changed for Tarana

samvatsaram.
