White perfumes, white flowers, white garlands, clothes, and similar items should be offered. And for Rahu, black flowers, clothes, and similar items should be offered.

One should offer white perfumes and similar items to the lord of the constellation. And a wise person should worship the Sun with the mantra (mantra) 'ākṛṣṇeti'.
अथा चन्द्रं इमे देवा इति मन्त्रेण भक्तितः ।
दूर्वाभि पूजयेद्राहुं कया न इति मन्त्रतः ॥१०॥
दूर्वाभि पूजयेद्राहुं कया न इति मन्त्रतः ॥१०॥

dūrvābhiḥ pūjayet rāhum kayā na iti mantrataḥ
dūrvābhiḥ pūjayet rāhum kayā na iti mantrataḥ

Then, with devotion (bhakti), one should worship the Moon using the mantra (mantra) 'ime devā'. With dūrvā grass, one should worship Rahu using the mantra (mantra) 'kayā na'.
सूर्येन्द्वोरर्कपालाशमिद्भिर्जुहुयात् क्रमात् ।

O best among Brahmins, one should offer oblations (yajña) for the Sun and Moon using arka and palāśa firewood, respectively. Likewise, for the appeasement of Rahu, one should offer oblations (yajña) with dūrvā grass.
ब्रह्मवृक्षसमिद्भिश्च भेशाय जुहुयात् पुनः ।
अभिषेकं ततः कुर्यात् जातस्य कलहोदकैः ॥१२॥

And again, one should offer oblations (yajña) to the planetary lord of the constellation using firesticks of the Brahmavṛkṣa. Subsequently, one should perform a ritual bath (abhiṣeka) for the newborn with water from a jar.

ब्राह्मणान् भोजयेत्वा तु यथाशक्ति विसर्जयेत् ॥१३॥

13.
Being tranquil and having mastered his senses, one should respectfully honor the preceptor with devotion (bhakti). Then, after feeding the Brahmins, one should dismiss them according to one's capacity.
एवं ग्रहणजातस्य शान्तिं कृत्वा विधानतः ।
सर्वविघ्नं विनिर्जित्वा सौभाग्यं लभते नरः ॥१४॥
सर्वविघ्नं विनिर्जित्वा सौभाग्यं लभते नरः ॥१४॥
14. evaṃ grahaṇajātasya śāntiṃ kṛtvā vidhānataḥ .

Thus, a person who performs the propitiation for an eclipse according to the prescribed method, completely conquers all obstacles and attains good fortune.
