In the Student life, two types of minor rituals were very important. One at the beginning of initial stage and the second is at the end of middle stage education. These two types of rituals had to be performed by the student in his student life. But during the Brahmacarya period, the student also performed some other rituals like 鲍辫腻办补谤尘补 or 艢谤腻惫补峁嚹� ritual and Utsarjana ritual.

1. 鲍辫腻办补谤尘补 ritual:

鲍辫腻办补谤尘补 ritual was the function to inaugurate a session. At the commencement of rainy season, this ritual was performed. Both the teacher and the students performed this ritual. The 鲍辫腻办补谤尘补 ritual was also called 艢谤腻惫补峁嚹� ritual because it was conducted once a year during the month of 艢谤腻惫补峁嘺 (July to August)^[1]. This ritual was very simple. The different authorities performed this ritual in their own style. But the central idea is common to all viz. in very opening day, the teachers and the students paid tribute and gratitude to the literary celebrity and intellectual giants of the past. They also offered oblations to their sacrificial deities. For paying tribute to the celebrities of the past and offered oblation to their deities, it aroused ambition in the mind of young scholar and they started their labour with great hope. Thus according to the 膧艣val膩yana G峁沨yas奴tra^[2], the school of 峁欢惫别诲补 worshipped 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨, 艢谤补诲诲丑腻, 惭别诲丑腻, 笔谤补箩帽补, 顿丑腻谤补峁嚹� and the 峁歴颈蝉 of the Veda, and then recited the first and the last stanzas of the ten 尘补峁囜笉补濒补蝉 of the 峁欢惫别诲补, offering oblation of curds and Saktu to Agni. The school of Yajurveda first offered oblations to the sacrificial deities for success in the performance of sacrifices in which they wanted to specialize, and then they invoked the deities of the 厂补峁僪颈迟腻蝉 and their 峁氠梗颈蝉. Next the four Vedic 厂补峁僪颈迟腻蝉 viz. the 峁欢惫别诲补, the Yajurveda, the 厂腻尘补惫别诲补 and the Atharvaveda together with 滨迟颈丑腻蝉补, 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 to receive the respectful tribute to living generation. In this connection, the school of Yajurveda also paid their homage to the memory of scholars who had built up their studies: Krishna 顿惫补颈辫腻测补苍补, 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补, Tittri, 膧迟谤别测补, 碍补耻峁囜笉颈苍测补, the 痴峁泃迟颈办腻谤补, 叠补耻诲丑腻测补苍补, the 笔谤补惫补肠补苍补办腻谤补, 膧辫补蝉迟补尘产补 the 厂奴迟谤补办补谤补, and also to Satyasha岣峢a, Hira峁噛ak艣in, 痴腻箩补蝉补苍别测补, 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, 叠丑腻谤补诲惫腻箩补 and 础驳苍颈惫补艣测补. All these celebrated scholars were paying tribute in the opening day of the School. For this ritual the students were inspired to see the wroth successors of the past and they create the sense of responsibility in learning and started their education with great hope.

1) Utsarjana Ceremony:

Utsarjana ceremony was the annual dispersal or closure ceremony^[3]. This ceremony was performed at the end of the session. In the sixth day of 笔补耻峁� or the first day of 惭腻驳丑补 (January鈥揊ebruary), this ceremony was performed. Like the 鲍辫腻办补谤尘补 ritual, the Utsarjana ceremony also follows the same procedure. In the last day of the session, the students were paid tribute and respect to the literary celebrate and the intellectual giants. The students also paid respect to their worthy successors before the end of the session.
