    Svoboda presents garbha-nyasa (burying a casket of metals/gems offered to the Nine Planets) as a procedure that griha-pravesha 'can contain' (p.292) — a sub-rite performed within / as part of the first-entrance ceremony. Modeled as prerequisite-of (§4: ritual order); the deposit rite is an optional component step within the entry rite.
