With deep reverence and careful attention to the ancient prescriptions, the ritual began by placing the sacred lump upon the Brahma-stone and other designated stones, just as the tradition instructed. Every act was performed as before, using the bindings of the cow and other prescribed materials, ensuring the ritual purity and continuity. Once these placements were complete, the participants moved to the fire-pit. There, in the very center, Maheśāna was established, while Maheśvara was placed in the surrounding girdles. In the other girdles and at the root of sound, the power of action was set, and the pot, consecrated to the fire-lord, was arranged on the altar at the junction known as the nest. The mind was then turned inward to contemplate the subtle power—fine as a lotus thread—rising with force, ascending along the sun’s path, and then flowing outward. Again, this power was visualized as entering by the path of emptiness, so that everywhere, all forms became joined and unified with one another. After honoring the supporting power and offering it in the fire-pit in the proper sequence, the forms of the lords of the cosmic principles, along with their respective portions, were offered with ghee and other sacred substances. With worship and oblations completed, and in the presence of the assembled particles, the ritualist performed the full or half oblation a hundred or even a thousand times, ensuring the completeness of the offering. Once the forms of the lords and their portions, as well as the supporting beings, had been offered to, the attendants—those who bore these forms—also made their offerings. The power was then satisfied with the presence of Brahmins and the appropriate ritual limbs, according to the materials and the time. Water from the sacred pot was sprinkled at the root of the kusa grass, marking purification. Touching the base of the liṅga for sanctification, together with Viṣṇu and the other deities, every act was repeated as before, including the careful counting of oblations and recitations. Thus, Brahma and the others were purified for the sake of Viṣṇu and the rest, following the same meticulous process. The tip of the kusa grass was joined with the tip of the liṅga, and this sacred contact was made as the method of joining was explained. With mantras such as “Oṃ hā ha o o o e o bhū bhū, homage to the form of vāhya” and “Oṃ hā vā ā oṃ ā ṣā o bhū bhū vā, homage to the form of fire,” the ritualist honored the forms, beginning with the yajamāna, and connected the fivefold forms with the heart and other centers. Whether using the root syllables, one’s own seed mantras, or the threefold essence, the stone lump placed upon the bulls was to be whole and firmly bound. For purity in all the ritual portions and non-portions, the homa was performed a hundred times or more; and to remove any defect of excess or deficiency, one performed a hundred and eight oblations with the mantra of Śiva. After these offerings, the ritualist would whisper into the ear of Śiva: “This act, endowed with these elements, has been performed by me according to my capacity, O Lord.” With humility, he prayed: “Om, obeisance to the Blessed Rudra; O Rudra, salutations to you. Whether this is complete or incomplete according to the rite, may it be accepted, filled by your own power.” Then, invoking the Śāṅkarī mantra—“Om hrīṃ, O Śāṅkarī, fill it—svāhā”—the act was sealed in the piṇḍikā. Upon the liṅga, the knower placed the kriyā-designated seat-form. The Śakti, as the form of support, was established upon the brahmaśilā stone, bound for seven, five, or three nights—or even for one night, or immediately, as a consecration. For without proper consecration, even the most diligent worship would not bear fruit. Each day, with one’s own mantras, a hundred oblations were offered, with additional worship to Śiva’s pot and other vessels, and offerings made to the cardinal directions. Together with the guru and other companions, the participants observed the night vigil with discipline. This practice, called 'adivāsa,' was likened to dwelling at the base of a tree, as the tradition had declared. The scriptures then turned to the sacred procedures: the pilgrimage to Gayā, the rite of Śrāddha for ancestors, and the teachings of Agni. It was revealed that the entire wheel of time is established as a complete year, and that at the end of the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight, the sign of the crow is seen; on festival days, the quadruped sign becomes manifest. For victory and auspiciousness, the essence found in the Ocean of Victory in Battle was explained: the vowels a, i, u, e, o correspond in order to the lunar days (tithis) beginning with Nandā. Again, when the sign of the crow appears at the end of the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight, and on festival days the quadruped sign is present, these are times of significance. It was said that by the mere sight of Hanumat depicted on a cloth, enemies are destroyed. The teachings continued with explanations of various strengths, the construction of circles of fortifications, and the service diagrams for ritual use. The knowledge of conquering the three worlds was taught—wisdom that crushes all magical devices. The great Māri incantation, which destroys enemies, was imparted. The six rites were explained, their relevance to all mantras made clear. Methods for subjugation and similar acts were described, to be written in pairs of eight syllables. The Vasus are eight, the directions ten, the Rasas six, the Vedas four, the planets nine, the seasons six, the sheep twelve, and the moon’s phases were described, establishing the cosmic order. Finally, the mantras, herbs, and diagrams that grant all things were taught, as well as various mantras preceded by the sixfold placement—thus, the seeker was given the sacred knowledge to fulfill all aims, guided by the wisdom of the tradition.
