The wise one, versed in the scriptures, may begin by reciting the sacred Sāvitrī mantra and the powerful Aghamarṣaṇa hymn. As the ritual unfolds, he invokes the waters, bidding them to flow forth in harmony with these holy utterances. Immersed and fully submerged in the water, he repeats the Aghamarṣaṇa hymn three times, letting its purifying power wash over him. Alternatively, the devotee may choose to intone the sacred syllable Om or contemplate the god Hari, the sustainer of all. By repeating these mantras three times while in the water, he is cleansed of all sins. Placing the water upon his head, he is released from every offense, for the Aghamarṣaṇa hymn is renowned for dispelling all wrongs and impurities. After sprinkling the water, he is encouraged to behold the divine, the remover of darkness—often symbolized as the pure swan, invoked through the mantra and especially through the Sāvitrī. Following this, the Sāvitrī is recited once more, marking the sacred recitation-sacrifice. According to his ability, the devotee may also recite the Śatarudrīya, Atharvaśiras, and hymns dedicated to the Sun. If standing, he should concentrate deeply and gaze upon the sun while reciting. For counting the recitations, a rosary made of akṣa-beads is used; beads from the north are considered superior. Throughout the recitation, he must remain still, refraining from moving his head or neck or showing his teeth. The recitation is best performed in a solitary, auspicious place. After conversing with others and bathing, he should resume his recitations. He may recite the Sāvitrī mantras to the best of his ability and the Pavamāni hymns as he wishes. If he prefers, with a pure mind, he can sit upon clean earth or a mat of darbha grass. After performing ācamana (ritual sipping of water) as prescribed, he undertakes self-study according to his capacity. At the beginning of each offering, he utters 'Om,' and at the end, he says 'Salutations,' offering oblations to the divine. With water mixed with sesame seeds, he satisfies the ancestors with devotion, following the procedures of his own Veda. The wise man also offers handfuls of water to the divine sages and ancestors. For ancestral rites, he places the sacred thread over his right shoulder and uses his own tīrtha (holy water) with proper reverence. Using his own mantras, he worships the gods with flowers, leaves, or water, and extends devotion to other desired deities, free from anger and haste. All waters are considered deities, and thus, by these rituals, they are properly worshipped. With deep respect, he places the flowers separately, one by one. Above all, he is reminded to always worship Hari, the eternal one without beginning, middle, or end. Among the four Vedas, no mantra equals the Sāvitrī and Aghamarṣaṇa in sanctity. Identifying his self with the mantra, his mind absorbed and peaceful, he recites, "That is Viṣṇu." He then worships the great god Maheśvara, Shiva, with a purified mind, concentrating on the Īśāna, Rudra, or Tryambaka mantras. By uttering "Salutations to Śiva," he applies these mantras, offering his own self to the Lord declared as Brahman. He meditates upon the divine Lord Shiva, who dwells in the midst of the sky. With a concentrated mind, he enters the house and performs the five great sacrifices. Among these, the human sacrifice and the Brahma sacrifice are declared as two of the five. After performing the human sacrifice, he engages in self-study. Seated upon a bundle of kusa grass, holding kusa in hand and with focused mind, he then performs the Vaisvadeva rite, which is known as the sacrifice to the gods. Thus, the sacred rituals are fulfilled, each act imbued with reverence and devotion, honoring the divine and upholding the ancient tradition.
