प्रक्षिपोद्दिशि नैरृत्यां रक्षोऽपहतये तु तत् । निषिद्धभक्षणाद्यत्तु पापाद्यच्च प्रतिग्रहात् ॥ १,२१३.
One should throw it toward the southwest direction to ward off evil spirits; whatever sin has arisen from forbidden food or wrongful acceptance should be removed.
दुष्कृतं यच्च मे किञ्चिद्बाङ्मनः कायकर्मभिः । पुनातु मे तदिन्द्रस्तु वरुणः सबृहस्पतिः ॥ १,२१३.
Whatever wrong I have done by speech, mind, or bodily actions—may Indra, Varuna, and Brihaspati purify me of that.
सविता च भगश्चैव मुनयः सनकादयः । आब्रह्मस्तम्बपर्यन्तं जगत्तृप्यत्विति ब्रुवन् ॥ १,२१३.
Reciting: 'May Savita, Bhaga, and the sages beginning with Sanaka, and may the entire world up to the Brahma-stambha be satisfied,' one should proceed.
क्षिपेदबञ्जलींस्त्रीस्तु कुर्वन्संक्षेपतर्पणम् । सुराणामर्चनं कुर्याद्ब्रह्मा दीनाममत्सरी ॥ १,२१३.
One should offer three handfuls of water, performing the concise offering; one should worship the gods, and Brahma, who is compassionate and free from envy.
ब्राह्मवैष्णवरौद्रैश्च सावित्रैर्मैत्रवारुणैः । तल्लिङ्गैरर्चयेन्मन्त्रैः सर्वदेवान्नमस्य च ॥ १,२१३.
With mantras of Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Savitri, Mitra, and Varuna, using their respective forms, one should worship and bow to all the gods.
नमस्कारेण पुष्पाणि विन्यसेत्तु पृथक्पृथक् । सर्वदेवमयं विष्णुं भास्करं चाप्यथार्चयेत् ॥ १,२१३.
With reverence, one should place flowers separately for each, and then worship Vishnu, who is the essence of all the gods, and also the Sun.
दद्यात्पुरुषसूक्तेन यः पुष्पाण्यप एव वा । अर्चितं स्याज्जगादिदं तेन सर्वं चराचरम् ॥ १,२१३.
Whoever offers flowers or even water with the Purusha Sukta, has thereby worshipped the entire universe, both moving and unmoving.
अन्यैश्च तान्त्रिकैर्मन्त्रैः पूजयेच्च जनार्दनम् । आदावर्घ्यं प्रदातव्यं ततः पश्चाद्विलेपनम् ॥ १,२१३.
With other Tantric mantras, one should also worship Janardana; first, the arghya should be offered, then the anointing follows.
ततः पुष्पाञ्जलिं धूपमु पहारफलानि च । स्नानमन्तर्जले चैव मार्जनाचमनं तथा ॥ १,२१३.
Then one should offer a handful of flowers, incense, lamps, and fruits; also, bathing the deity in water, cleansing, and sipping water for purification.
जलाभिमन्त्रणं यच्च तीर्थस्य परिकल्पयेत् । अघमर्षणसूक्तेन त्रिवारं त्वेव नित्यशः ॥ १,२१३.
One should consecrate the water for the sacred place by reciting the Aghamarshana hymn three times daily, as a regular practice.
स्नाने चरितमित्येतत्समुद्दिष्टं महात्मभिः । ब्रह्मक्षत्रविशां चैव मन्त्रवत्स्नानमिष्यते ॥ १,२१३.
This conduct regarding bathing has been prescribed by the great souls; for Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas, bathing with mantras is approved.
तूष्णीमेव तु शूद्रस्य सनमस्कारकं स्मृतम् । अध्यापनं ब्रह्मयज्ञः पितृयज्ञस्तु तर्पणम् ॥ १,२१३.
For a Shudra, silent bathing with reverence is prescribed; teaching, the Brahma-yajña, and the ancestral offering are to be performed by pouring water.
होमो दैवी बलिर्भौतो न यज्ञोऽतिथिपूजनम् । गवा गोष्ठे दशगुणं अग्न्यगारे शताधिकम् ॥ १,२१३.
The homa is for the gods, the bali is for spirits, and the offering to guests is not a yajña; giving cows in a cowshed yields tenfold merit, and in the fire chamber, a hundred times more.
सिद्धक्षेत्रेषु तीर्थेषु देवतायतनेषु च । सहस्रशतकोटीनामनन्तं विष्णुसन्निधौ ॥ १,२१३.
In sacred fields, at holy waters, and in temples of deities, the merit is countless—hundreds of thousands of millions—especially in the presence of Vishnu.
पञ्चमे च तथा भागे संविभागो यथार्थतः । पितृदे वमनुष्याणां कोटीनां चोपदिश्यते ॥ १,२१३.
Likewise, in the fifth part, sharing should be done appropriately; for ancestors and for humans, the merit is said to be in the millions.
ब्राह्मणेभ्यः प्रदायाग्र यः सुहृद्भिः सहाश्नुते । स प्रेत्य लभते स्वर्गमन्नदानं समाचरन् ॥ १,२१३.
He who first gives to Brahmins and then eats with friends, performing the gift of food, attains heaven after death.
पूर्वं मधुरमश्रीयाल्लवणाम्लौ च मध्यतः । कटुतिक्तकषायांश्च पयश्चैव तथान्ततः ॥ १,२१३.
First, one should eat sweet foods, then salty and sour in the middle; pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes, and milk, should be taken at the end.
शाकं च रात्रौ भूमिष्ठमत्यन्तं च विवर्जयेत् । नचैकरससेवायां प्रसज्जेत कदाचन ॥ १,२१३.
One should completely avoid eating vegetables at night that are on the ground, and should never become attached to food of a single taste.
समृतं ब्राह्मणस्यान्नं क्षत्रियान्नं पयः स्मृतम् । वैश्यस्य चान्नमेवान्नं शूद्रान्नं रुधिरं स्मृतम् ॥ १,२१३.
For a Brahmin, food is prescribed; for a Kshatriya, milk is prescribed; for a Vaishya, food is indeed food; for a Shudra, blood is prescribed as food.
अमावासी वसेदत्र एकहायनमेव वा ॥ १,२१३.
On the new moon, one should stay here, or for a single year only.
तत्र श्रीश्चैव लक्ष्मीश्च वसते नात्र संशयः । उदरे गार्हपत्याग्निः पृष्ठदेशे तु दक्षिणः ॥ १,२१३.
There, Sri and Lakshmi both reside, without doubt; the household fire is in the belly, and the southern fire is on the back.
आस्ये चाहवनीयोऽग्निः सत्यः पर्व च मूर्धनि । यः पञ्चाग्नीनिमान्वेद आहिताग्निः स उच्यते ॥ १,२१३.
The oblation fire is in the mouth, truth and the sacred festival are on the head; he who knows these five fires is called one who has established the sacred fires.
शरिरमापः सोमं च विविधं चान्नमुच्यते । प्राणो ह्यग्निस्तथादित्यस्त्रिभोक्ता एक एव तु ॥ १,२१३.
The body is water, soma, and various kinds of food; the life-breath is fire and the sun, but the enjoyer of all three is truly one.
अन्नं बलाय मे भूमेरपामग्न्यनिलस्य च । भवत्येतत्परिणतौ ममाप्यव्याहतं सुखम् ॥ १,२१३.
Food gives strength to me, to earth, water, fire, and wind; may this, when digested, bring me uninterrupted happiness.
हस्तेन परिमार्ज्याथ कुर्यात्ताम्बूलभक्षणम् । श्रवणं चेतिहासस्य तत्कुर्यात्सुसमाहितः ॥ १,२१३.
After wiping the hand, one should chew betel; then, with full attention, one should listen to history.
इतिहासपुराणाद्यैः षष्ठसप्तमकेनयेत् । ततः सन्ध्यामुपासीत स्नात्वा वै पश्चिमां नरः ॥ १,२१३.
With the sixth or seventh part of the day, one should study the histories and Puranas; then, after bathing, a man should perform the evening worship.
एतद्वा दिवसे प्रोक्तमनुष्ठानं मया द्विज । आचारं यः पठेद्विद्वाञ्छृणुयात्स दिवंव्रजेत् । आचारादिर्धर्मकर्ता केशवो हि स्मृतो द्विज ॥ १,२१३.
O twice-born, I have thus described the daily observances for the day; whoever, learned, recites or hears this, attains heaven. Indeed, O twice-born, Kesava is remembered as the originator of conduct and dharma.
श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् २१४ ब्रह्मोवाच । अथ स्नानविधिं वक्ष्ये स्नानमूला क्रिया यतः । मृद्गोमयतिलान्दर्भान्पुष्पाणि सुरभीणि च ॥ १,२१४.
Brahma said: Now I shall explain the procedure for bathing, since all rites are rooted in bathing; clay, cow dung, sesame seeds, darbha grass, and fragrant flowers are to be used.
आहरेत्स्नानकाले च स्नानार्थो प्रयतः शुचिः । गन्धोदकान्तं विविक्ते (धं) स्थापयेत्तान्यथ क्षितौ ॥ १,२१४.
At the time of bathing, one should carefully and with purity bring the necessary items for bathing, and place them—such as fragrant water—in a clean and secluded spot, or else on the ground.
त्रिधा कृत्वा मृदं तां तु गोमयं च विचक्षणः । अद्भिर्मृद्भिश्च चरणौ प्रक्षाल्याथ करौ तथा ॥ १,२१४.
The wise person should divide the clay and cow-dung into three portions, and then wash the feet and hands with water and clay.
