राजाभिषेकमन्त्रोक्तदेवानां होमकाः पृथक् । पूर्णाहुतिन्ततो दत्वा गुरवे दक्षिणां ददेत् ।। २६५.
Separate offerings are made to the gods mentioned in the royal consecration mantras; after giving the full oblation, one should present the fee to the teacher.
इन्द्रोऽभिषिक्तो गुरुणा पुरा दैत्यान् जघान् ह । लिक्पालस्नानङ्कथितं संग्रामादौ जयादिकं ।। २६५.
Indra was consecrated by the teacher in ancient times and slew the demons; the bathing of the guardians is described, bringing victory at the start of battle.
पुष्कर उवाच विनायकोपसृष्टानां स्नानं सर्वकरं वदे । विनायकः कर्म्मविघ्नसिद्ध्यर्थं विनियोजितः ।। २६६.
Puṣkara said: I will explain the universal bathing for those afflicted by Vināyaka; Vināyaka is appointed for the accomplishment of actions and removal of obstacles.
गणानामाधिपत्ये च केशवेशपितामहैः । स्वप्नेवगाहतेऽत्यर्थं जलं मुण्डांश्च पश्यति ।। २६६.
As lord of the groups, by Keśava and Pitāmaha, Vināyaka appears in dreams, causing one to see water and shaven heads excessively.
विनायकोपसृष्टस्तु क्रव्यादानधिरोहति । व्रजमानस्तथात्मानं मन्यतेऽनुगतम्परैः ।। २६६.
When afflicted by Vināyaka, one is seized by flesh-eating spirits; as one goes, one imagines oneself followed by others.
विमना विफलारम्भः संसीदत्यनिमित्ततः । कन्या वरं न चाप्नोति च चापत्यं वराङ्गना ।। २६६.
Disheartened, with fruitless undertakings, one fails without cause; a maiden does not obtain a husband, nor does a beautiful woman bear children.
आचार्य्यत्वं श्रोत्रियश्च न शिष्योऽध्ययनं लबेत् । धनी न लाभमाप्नोति न कृषिञ्च कृषीबलः ।। २६६.
One does not attain the status of teacher or Vedic scholar, nor does the student gain learning; the wealthy do not gain profit, nor do farmers succeed in agriculture.
राजा राज्यं न चाप्नोति स्नपननतस्य कारयेत् । हस्तपुष्याश्वयुक्सौम्ये वैष्णवे भद्रपीठके ।। २६६.
A king does not obtain his kingdom; for such a one, a bathing ritual should be performed on an auspicious seat, during the conjunction of Hasta, Puṣya, Aśvayuk, and Saumya, in the Vaiṣṇava month.
गौरसर्षपकल्केन साज्येनोत्सादितस्य च । सर्वौषधैः सर्वगन्धैः प्रलिप्तशिरसस्तथा ।। २६६.
With a paste of cow's ghee and mustard, and after anointing with all herbs and fragrances, the head is also smeared.
चतुर्भिः कलसैः स्नानन्तेषु सर्वौषधीः क्षिपेत् । अश्वस्थानाद्गजस्थानाद्वल्मीकात् सङ्गमाद्ध्रदात् ।। २६६.
After bathing, all herbs are placed in four pots; from the place of horses, elephants, anthills, confluences, and ponds.
मृत्तिकां रोजनाङ्गन्धङ्गुग्गुलुन्तेषु निक्षिपेत् । सहस्राक्षं शतधारमृषिभिः पावनं कृतम् ।। २६६.
Clay, rojanā, fragrant substances, and guggulu are placed in them; the thousand-eyed, hundred-streamed purifying water made by the sages.
तेन त्वामभिषिञ्चामि पावमान्यः पुनन्तु ते । भगन्ते वरुणो राजा भगं सूर्य्यो बृहस्पतिः ।। २६६.
With that, I consecrate you; may the purifying waters cleanse you. May Varuṇa, the king, grant you fortune; may Sūrya and Bṛhaspati do so.
भगमिन्द्रश्च वायुश्च भगं सप्तर्षयो ददुः । यक्ते केशेषु दौर्भाग्यं सीमन्ते यच्च मूर्द्धनि ।। २६६.
May Indra and Vāyu, and the seven sages, grant you fortune. Misfortune in the hair, at the parting, and on the head—
ललाटे कर्णयोरक्ष्णोरापस्तद्घ्नन्तु सर्वदा । दर्भपिञ्जलिमादाय वामहस्ते ततो गुरुः ।। २६६.
On the forehead, ears, and eyes—may the waters always remove it. Taking a handful of darbha grass in the left hand, the teacher then—
स्नातस्य सार्षपन्तैलं श्रुवेणौडुम्बरेण च । जुहुयान्मूर्द्धनि कुशान् सव्येन परिगृहाय च ।। २६६.
For the one bathed, he should offer mustard oil with a ladle made of udumbara wood; he should pour it on the head, holding kuśa grass in the left hand.
मितश्च सम्मितश्चैव तथा शालककण्टकौ । कुष्माण्डो राजपुत्रश्च एतैः स्वाहासमन्वितैः ।। २६६.
Mita, Sammita, Śālaka, Kaṇṭaka, Kuṣmāṇḍa, and the prince—along with these, accompanied by the svāhā invocation.
नामभिर्बलिमन्त्रैश्च नमस्कारसमन्वितैः । दद्याच्चतुष्पथे शूर्पे कुशानास्तीर्य्य सर्व्वतः ।। २६६.
With names, offerings, and mantras, accompanied by salutations, one should offer at the crossroads, spreading kuśa grass all around on a winnowing basket.
कृताकृतांस्तण्डुलांश्च पललौदनमेव च । मत्स्यान्पङ्कांस्तथैवामान् पुष्पं चित्रं सुरां त्रिधा ।। २६६.
One should offer both cooked and uncooked rice, gruel, fish, mud, likewise these, various flowers, and three kinds of liquor.
मुलकं पूरिकां पूपांस्तथैवैण्डविकास्रजः । दध्यन्नं पायसं पिष्टं मोदकं गुड़मर्पयेत् ।। २६६.
One should offer radish, fried cakes, sweet cakes, sugar confections, curd-rice, milk-rice, flour preparations, sweet balls, and jaggery.
विनायकस्य जननीमुपतिष्ठेत्ततोऽम्बिकां । दूर्व्वासर्षपपुष्पाणां दत्त्वार्घ्यं पूर्णमञ्जलिं ।। २६६.
Afterward, one should worship the mother of Vināyaka, then Ambikā, offering a full handful of arghya with dūrvā grass, mustard seeds, and flowers.
रूपं देहि यशो देहि सौभाग्यं सुभगे मम । पुत्रं देहि धनं देहि सर्व्वान् कामांश्च देहि मे ।। २६६.
Grant me beauty, grant me fame, grant me good fortune, O auspicious one; give me a son, give me wealth, and fulfill all my desires.
भोजयेद्ब्राह्मणान्दद्याद्वस्त्रयुग्मं गुरोरपि । विनायकं ग्रहान्प्रार्च्य श्रियं कर्म्मफलं लभेत् ।। २६६.
One should feed the brāhmaṇas and give a pair of garments even to the teacher; having worshipped Vināyaka and the planets, one attains prosperity and the fruit of the rite.
पुष्कर उवाच स्नानं माहेश्रं वक्ष्ये राजादेर्जयवर्द्धनम् । दानवेन्द्राय बलये यज्जगादोशनाः पुरा ।। २६७.
Puṣkara said: I shall explain the Māheśvara bath, which increases the victory of kings, which was once given by Uśanas to the lord of the Dānavas, Bali.
बास्करेऽनुदिते पीठे प्रातः संस्नापयेद् घटैः । ॐ नमो भगवते रुद्राय च बलाय च पाण्डरोचितभस्मानुलिप्तगायाय । तद्यथा जय जय सर्वान् शत्रून् मूकय कलहविग्रहविवादेषु भञ्जय । ॐ मथ मथ सर्व्वपथिकान् योसौ युगान्तकाले दिधक्षति इमां पूजां रौद्रमूर्त्तिः सहस्त्रांशुः शुक्लः स ते रक्षतु जीवतं । सम्बर्त्तकाग्नितुल्यश्च त्रिपुरान्तकरः शिवः । सर्वदेवमयः सोपि तव रक्षतु जीवितं लिखि लिखि खिलि स्वाहा २६७.
When the sun has not yet risen, on a seat, one should bathe in the morning with pots, reciting: 'Om, obeisance to the blessed Rudra, to Bala, to the one whose body is smeared with white ash; thus, victory, victory! Silence all enemies, break them in quarrels and disputes. Om, churn, churn all those on the path; that fierce form, the thousand-rayed one, who at the end of the age seeks to burn, may he protect this worship, may the pure one protect your life. May Shiva, like the fire of dissolution, the destroyer of Tripura, who is the essence of all gods, protect your life. Write, write, seal! Svāhā.'
पञ्चामृतैस्तु संस्नाप्य पूजयेच्छूलपाणिनं । स्नानान्यन्यानि वक्ष्यामि सर्वदा विजयाय ते ।। २६७.
Having bathed with the five nectars, one should worship the wielder of the trident; I shall describe other baths, always for your victory.
स्नानं घृतेन कथितमायुष्यवर्द्धनं परम् । गोमयेन च लक्ष्मीः स्याद् गोमूत्रेणाघमर्द्दनम् ।। २६७.
Bathing with ghee is said to greatly increase lifespan; with cow dung, one obtains prosperity; with cow urine, the destruction of sin.
क्षीरेण बलबुद्धिः स्याद्दध्ना लक्षअमीविवर्द्धनं । कुशोदकेन पापान्तः वञ्चगव्येन सर्वभाक् ।। २६७.
With milk, one gains strength and intelligence; with curd, prosperity increases; with water of kuśa grass, sins are ended; with five products of the cow, all is attained.
शतमूलेन सर्वाप्तिर्गोश्रृङ्गोदकतोऽर्घजित् । पलाशविल्वकमलकुशस्नानन्तु सर्व्वदं ।। २६७.
With water from śatamūla roots, all is obtained; with water from a cow's horn, one conquers enemies; bathing with palāśa, bilva, lotus, and kuśa brings all benefits.
वचा हरिद्रे द्वे मुस्तं स्नानं रक्षोहणं परं । आयुष्यञ्च यशस्यञ्च धर्म्ममेधाविवर्द्धनम् ।। २६८.
Bathing with vacā, two kinds of turmeric, and musta is supremely protective against harm, and increases lifespan, fame, virtue, and intelligence.
हैमाद्भिश्चैव माङ्गल्यं रूप्यताम्रोदकैस्तथा । रत्नोदकैस्तु विज्यः सौभाग्यञ्च प्रियङ्गुणा ।। २६८.
Bathing with golden water brings auspiciousness, with silver and copper water likewise; with water of jewels comes victory, and with priyangu seeds, good fortune.
