Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

हुत्वा शिष्यस्य तच्छेषं भोक्तुं समुपकल्पयेत् तर्पणांतं च मंत्राणां कृत्वा कर्म यथा पुरा

Having offered it, the remainder should be prepared for the disciple to eat; having completed the tarpaṇa with the mantras, the rite is performed as before.

हुत्वा पूर्णाहुतिं तेषां ततः कुर्यात्प्रदीपनम् ओंकारादनु हुंकारं ततो मूलं फडंतकम्

Having offered the full oblation for them, then he should perform the kindling; after Oṃkāra, the Huṃkāra, then the root and ending with Phaṭ,

स्वाहांतं दीपने प्राहुरंगानि च यथाक्रमम् तेषामाहुतयस्तिस्रो देया दीपनकर्मणि

Ending with Svāhā, in the kindling, the limbs are recited in order; three oblations for each of them should be given in the kindling rite.

मंत्रैरेकैकशस्तैस्तु विचिन्त्या दीप्तमूर्तयः त्रिगुणं त्रिगुणी कृत्य द्विजकन्याकृतं सितम्

With those mantras, each one should be meditated upon as a radiant form; the threefold, the threefold act, performed by a twice-born maiden, white in color.

सूत्रं सूत्रेण संमंत्र्य शिखाग्रे बंधयेच्छिशोः चरणांगुष्ठपर्यंतमूर्ध्वकायस्य तिष्ठतः

The thread, having been consecrated with a thread, should be tied at the tip of the tuft of the disciple, extending up to the big toe, as he stands upright.

लंबयित्वा तु तत्सूत्रं सुषुम्णां तत्र योजयेत् शांतया मुद्रयादाय मूलमंत्रेण मंत्रवित्

Then, having lengthened that thread, let him connect it to the suṣumṇā there; taking the Śāṃtī mudrā, the knower of mantra should use the root mantra.

हुत्वाहुतित्रयं तस्यास्सान्निध्यमुपकल्पयेत् हृदि संताड्य शिष्यस्य पुष्पक्षेपेण पूर्ववत्

Having offered three oblations, he should establish her presence; striking the disciple's heart with a flower offering, as before.

चैतन्यं समुपादाय द्वादशांते निवेद्य च सूत्रं सूत्रेण संयोज्य संरक्ष्यास्त्रेण वर्मणा

Taking up consciousness, and placing it at the dvādaśānta, he should join the thread with the thread, and protect it with the weapon of armor.

अवगुंठ्याथ तत्सूत्रं शिष्यदेहं विचिंतयेत् मूलत्रयमयं पाशं भोगभोग्यत्वलक्षणम्

Then, having covered that thread, he should contemplate the disciple's body as bound by the triple root noose, marked by the state of enjoyer and enjoyed.

विषयेन्द्रियदेहादिजनकं तस्य भावयेत् व्योमादिभूतरूपिण्यः शांत्यतीतादयः कलाः

He should consider that as the source of sense objects, senses, and body; the kalās beginning with Śāṃtyatītā, in the forms of space and the other elements.

सूत्रे स्वनामभिर्योज्यः पूज्यश्चैव नमोयुतैः अथवा बीजभूतैस्तत्कृत्वा पूर्वोदितं क्रमात्

He should join them in the thread by their own names, and worship them with salutations; or else, having made them into seed-forms, proceed as previously described.

ततो मलादेस्तत्त्वादौ व्याप्तिं समलोकयेत् कलाव्याप्तिं मलादौ च हुत्वा संदीपयेत्कलाः

Then, at the beginning with impurity and the tattvas, he should observe the pervasion of the kalās; having offered oblations at the beginning with impurity, he should kindle the kalās.

शिष्यं शिरसि संताड्य सूत्रं देहे यथाक्रमम् शांत्यतीतपदे सूत्रं लाञ्छयेन्मंत्रमुच्चरन्

Striking the disciple on the head, he should mark the thread on the body in order; at the Śāṃtyatīta stage, he should inscribe the thread, reciting the mantra.

एवं कृत्वा निवृत्त्यन्तं शांत्यतीतमनुक्रमात् हुत्वाहुतित्रयं पश्चान्मण्डले च शिवं यजेत्

Having thus performed up to the end of Nivṛtti and Śāṃtyatīta in sequence, and having offered three oblations, he should then worship Śiva in the maṇḍala.

देवस्य दक्षिणे शिष्यमुपवेश्योत्तरामुखम् सदर्भे मण्डले दद्याद्धोमशिष्टं चरुं गुरुः

Seating the disciple to the right of the deity, facing north, the teacher should give the remains of the oblation, the charu, in the maṇḍala with darbha grass.

शिष्यस्तद्गुरुणा दत्तं सत्कृत्य शिवपूर्वकम् भुक्त्वा पश्चाद्द्विराचम्य शिवमन्त्रमुदीरयेत्

The disciple, having respectfully received what was given by the teacher, with Śiva as witness, should eat it, then rinse his mouth twice, and recite the Śiva mantra.

अपरे मण्डले दद्यात्पञ्चगव्यं तथा गुरुः सो ऽपि तच्छक्तितः पीत्वा द्विराचम्य शिवं स्मरेत्

In another maṇḍala, the teacher should give pañcagavya likewise; he too, having drunk it according to his capacity, should rinse his mouth twice and remember Śiva.

तृतीये मण्डले शिष्यमुपवेश्य यथा पुरा प्रदद्याद्दंतपवनं यथाशास्त्रोक्तलक्षणम्

In the third maṇḍala, seating the disciple as before, he should give the tooth-cleanser, as prescribed by the scriptures.

अग्रेण तस्य मृदुना प्राङ्मुखो वाप्युदङ्मुखः वाचं नियम्य चासीनश्शिष्यो दंतान्विशोधयेत्

With its tip soft, facing east or north, restraining speech and seated, the disciple should clean his teeth.

प्रक्षाल्य दंतपवनं त्यक्त्वाचम्य शिवं स्मरेत् प्रविशेद्देशिकादिष्टः प्रांजलिः शिवमण्डलम्

Having rinsed and discarded the tooth-cleanser, and rinsed his mouth, he should remember Śiva, and, as instructed by the teacher, enter the Śiva maṇḍala with joined palms.

त्यक्तं तद्दन्तपवनं दृश्यते गुरुणा यदि प्रागुदक्पश्चिमे वाग्रे शिवमन्यच्छिवेतरम्

If the discarded tooth-cleanser is seen by the teacher to be in the east, north, or west, then he should offer the remainder to Śiva or another deity.

अशस्ताशामुखे तस्मिन्गुरुस्तद्दोषशांतये शतमर्धं तदर्धं वाजुहुयान्मूलमन्त्रतः

If it is in an inauspicious direction, the teacher, to remove that fault, should offer one hundred, fifty, or half of that oblations with the root mantra.

ततः शिष्यं समालभ्य जपित्वा कर्णयोः शिवम् देवस्य दक्षिणे भागे तं शिष्यमधिवासयेत्

Then, having embraced the disciple and recited the Śiva mantra in both ears, he should seat that disciple to the right side of the deity.

अहतास्तरणास्तीर्णे स दर्भशयने शुचिः मंत्रिते ऽन्तः शिवं ध्यायञ्शयीत प्राक्छिरा निशि

On a bed of darbha grass, which is clean and has not been used before, after it has been properly prepared and consecrated, one should lie down at night with the head facing east, maintaining purity, meditating inwardly on Shiva.

शिखायां बद्धसूत्रस्य शिखया तच्छिखां गुरुः आबध्याहतवस्त्रेण तमाच्छाद्य च वर्मणा

The teacher should tie the sacred thread into the tuft of hair of the disciple, binding it with the disciple’s own hair, and cover him with a cloth that has not been worn before, as well as with protective garments.

रेखात्रयं च परितो भस्मना तिलसर्षपैः कृत्वास्त्रजप्तैस्तद्वाह्ये दिगीशानां बलिं हरेत्

Around the bed, three lines should be drawn with ashes, sesame, and mustard seeds; after reciting protective mantras, offerings should be made outside these lines to the guardians of the directions.

शिष्यो ऽपि परतो ऽनश्नन्कृत्वैवमधिवासनम् प्रबुध्योत्थाय गुरवे स्वप्नं दृष्टं निवेदयेत्

The disciple, also lying nearby and fasting, having performed the prescribed preparation, should, upon awakening, rise and report to the teacher the dream he has seen.

ततः स्नानादिकं सर्वं समाप्याचार्यचोदितः गच्छेद्बद्धांजलिर्ध्यायञ्छिवमण्डलपार्श्वतः

Then, having completed all bathing and related rites as instructed by the teacher, one should approach the side of the Shiva mandala with hands joined, meditating on Shiva.

अथ पूजां विना सर्वं कृत्वा पूर्वदिने यथा नेत्रबंधनपर्यंतं दर्शयेन्मण्डलं गुरुः

Next, having performed everything except the worship, as done on the previous day up to the binding of the eyes, the teacher should reveal the mandala.
