इति श्रीगारुडे महापुराणे पूर्वखण्डे प्रथमांशाख्ये आचारकाण्डे सुदर्शनपूजाविधिर्नाम त्रयस्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः

Thus, in the glorious Garuda Mahapurana, in the Purva-khanda, in the section called Achara-kanda, the thirty-third chapter named 'The Procedure for Sudarshana Worship' is concluded.

पुनर्देवार्चनं ब्रूहि हृषीकेश गदाधर 34.

Once again, tell me about the worship of the gods, O Hṛṣīkeśa, wielder of the mace.

हरिरुवाच तच्छृणुष्व जगन्नाथो येन विष्णुः प्रतुष्यति ।। 34.

Hari said: Listen to this, O Lord of the universe, by which Viṣṇu is pleased.

मूलमन्त्रं महादेव हयग्रीवस्य वाचकम् 34.

The root mantra, O great god, is the utterance of Hayagrīva.

ॐ सौं क्षौं शिरसे नमः इति प्रणवसंयुतः 34.

"Oṃ sauṃ kṣauṃ, obeisance to the head"—thus, united with the praṇava.

अस्याङ्गानि महादेव ताञ्छृणुष्व वृषध्वज ॐ क्षीं शिरसे स्वाहाशिरः प्रोक्तं क्षूं वषट् तथा ।। 34.

Hear now its limbs, O great god, O bull-bannered one: "Oṃ kṣīṃ, to the head, svāhā" is said for the head, and likewise "kṣūṃ, vaṣaṭ."

ॐ कारयुक्ता देवस्य शिखा ज्ञेया वृषध्वज 34.

"Oṃ" joined with "ka" is known as the deity's crest, O bull-bannered one.

ॐ क्षौं नेत्रत्रयाय वौषट्‌ नेत्रं देवस्य कीर्तितम् 34.

"Oṃ kṣauṃ, for the three eyes, vauṣaṭ"—the eye of the deity is thus declared.

पूजाविधिं प्रवक्ष्यामि तन्मे निगदतः श्रृणु आदौ स्नात्वा तथाचम्य ततो यागगृहं व्रजेत् ।। 34.

I will now explain the procedure of worship; listen to me as I tell it. First, after bathing and performing ācamana, one should then proceed to the place of worship.

ततः प्रविश्य विधिवत्कुर्य्याद्वं शोषणादिकम् 34.

Then, having entered properly, one should perform the acts of drying and the like.

अण्डमुत्पाद्य च ततः ॐ कारेणैव भेदयेत् 34.

Then, after producing an egg, one should break it with the syllable "Oṃ" alone.

शङ्खकुन्देन्दुधवलं मृणालरजतप्रभम् शङ्खं चक्रं गदां पद्मं धारयन्तं चतुर्भुजम् ।। 34.

White as a conch, jasmine, or the moon, shining like lotus-fiber or silver, bearing a conch, discus, mace, and lotus, with four arms—

किरीटिनं कुण्डलिनं वनमालासमंन्वितम् 34.

Wearing a crown, with earrings, adorned with a garland of forest flowers—

भावयित्वा महात्मानं सर्वदेवैः समन्वितम् 34.

Having meditated on the great soul, accompanied by all the gods—

ततश्च दर्शयेन्मुद्रां शङ्खपद्मादिकां शुभाम् 34.

Then one should display the auspicious mudrā, such as the conch and lotus.

ततश्चावाहयेद्रुद्र देवता आसनस्य याः 34.
