A brāhmaṇa, devoted to his sacred duties, should always face east and perform the worship of Sandhyā, the daily twilight ritual. This practice is essential, for without honoring Sandhyā, whatever else he undertakes will not bear fruit. When Sandhyā is properly worshipped, it brings fulfillment of both past and future aspirations. But if he neglects this reverence, he is destined for countless hells. By performing Sandhyā worship in this way, the supreme deity reveals Himself in a yogic form. Thus, the wise brāhmaṇa, pure in body and attentive in mind, should face east and recite the Gāyatrī mantra. He should use the essential mantras of the Ṛg, Yajur, and Sāma Vedas, bowing down to the earth, his head sanctified by mantra. With humility, he offers himself and salutes the One who is the embodiment of knowledge. The sacred syllables—Bhūḥ, Bhuvaḥ, Svaḥ, Om—are all manifestations of Rudra, eternal and divine. Each morning and at midday, he should bow to the Sun, honoring its life-giving presence. After kindling the fire according to the prescribed method, he offers oblations to Jātavedas, the fire deity. With proper permission, he performs the offering as instructed in the tradition, then bows to the deities and presents offerings of food. After these rituals, the twice-born should diligently recite the Vedas to the best of their ability. They are also called upon to study the scriptures concerning dharma and other subjects, seeking knowledge and wisdom. He should approach the Lord, seeking well-being and security for himself and his household. At midday, the brāhmaṇa collects clay for bathing, drawing it from rivers, sacred ponds, lakes, or pools. He must ensure that the five lumps of clay are not removed, for bathing without them is considered impure. He washes his feet below with three and then with six, as prescribed, and applies the proper amount of cow dung to his limbs. Standing at the water’s edge, he recites the appropriate mantras for the marks made. During bathing, he remembers Vishnu, for all waters belong to Narayana. After rinsing his mouth, he rinses again with the proper mantra, if he is knowledgeable in mantras. He acknowledges: “You are the sacrifice, you are the vaṣaṭ-call, you are the waters, the light, the essence, the nectar.” Alternatively, he may recite the Sāvitrī mantra twice, along with the Aghamarṣaṇa hymn. As the waters flow, so do the sacred utterances. Immersed in water and facing downward, he recites the Aghamarṣaṇa hymn three times, or repeats the Praṇava (Om) and meditates on Hari, the Lord of Lords, delighting in Rama. By placing that water upon his head, he is freed from all sins. Afterwards, he approaches the Sun, hands joined and adorned with flowers, raised aloft. Gazing at the rising Sun, he recites the mantras ‘udutyaṃ citram’ and ‘taccakṣur’. He continues with other solar and Vedic mantras, including the Gāyatrī, standing and concentrating on the Sun. Between recitations, he cleanses his eyes, as tradition prescribes. If not standing, he sits attentively on clean ground or on darbha grass, maintaining purity and focus. He performs ācamana, the ritual sipping of water, as instructed in the scriptures, then undertakes self-study to the best of his ability. At the beginning of his recitation, he utters ‘Om’, and at the end, he says ‘namah’ and offers oblations. With devotion, he offers these oblations to ancestors, gods, and sages, following the prescribed method of his own lineage, thus fulfilling his sacred duties and preserving the eternal order.
