Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

तं चोपनीय निर्माल्यमण्डले ऽस्मिन्यथा पुरा पूजयेद्देवमीशानं जुहुयाच्च शिवानले

Then, bringing the discarded offerings to the mandala as before, one should worship the Lord Ishana and also make offerings into the sacred fire of Shiva.

शिष्येण यदि दुःस्वप्नो दृष्टस्तद्दोषशांतये शतमर्धं तदर्धं वा जुहुयान्मूलविद्यया

If the disciple has seen a bad dream, to remove its ill effects, one should offer one hundred, fifty, or half of that oblations with the root mantra.

ततः सूत्रं शिखाबद्धं लंबयित्वा यथा पुरा आधारपूजाप्रभृति यन्निवृत्तिकलाश्रयम्

Then, as before, the thread tied in the hair should be allowed to hang down, and from the worship of the foundation onward, one should proceed according to the stages of cessation.

वागीश्वरीपूजनांतं कुर्याद्धोमपुरस्सरम् अथ प्रणम्य वागीशं निवृत्तेर्व्यापिकां सतीम्

One should perform the worship of Vagishvari up to its conclusion, preceded by oblations; then, having bowed to Vagisha, who is the pervasive cause of cessation, one should proceed.

मण्डले देवमभ्यर्च्य हुत्वा चैवाहुतित्रयम् प्रापयेच्च शिशोः प्राप्तिं युगपत्सर्वयोनिषु

Having worshipped the deity in the mandala and offered three oblations, one should grant the attainment of the child simultaneously in all wombs.

सूत्रदेहे ऽथ शिष्यस्य ताडनप्रोक्षणादिकम् कृत्वात्मानं समादाय द्वादशांते निवेद्य च

Then, for the disciple, one should perform striking, sprinkling, and other rites upon the thread-body; having taken up oneself, one should report at the twelfth segment.

ततो ऽप्यादाय मूलेन मुद्रया शास्त्रदृष्टया योजयेन्मनसाचार्यो युगपत्सर्वयोनिषु

Afterwards, taking the root with the gesture prescribed in the scripture, the teacher should mentally unite the disciple simultaneously with all wombs.

देवानां जातयश्चाष्टौ तिरश्चां पञ्च जातयः जात्यैकया च मानुष्या योनयश्च चतुर्दश

There are eight types of gods, five types of animals, and with one type of birth, fourteen types of human wombs.

तासु सर्वासु युगपत्प्रवेशाय शिशोर्धिया वागीशान्यां यथान्यायं शिष्यात्मानं निवेशयेत्

In all these, for simultaneous entry, the teacher should, according to proper method, establish the disciple’s self in the form of Vagishvari.

गर्भनिष्पत्तये देवं संपूज्य प्रणिपत्य च हुत्वा चैव यथान्यायं निष्पन्नं तदनुस्मरेत्

For the accomplishment of conception, one should worship the deity, bow down, and offer oblations as prescribed, then contemplate the accomplished result.

निष्पन्नस्यैवमुत्पत्तिमनुवृत्तिं च कर्मणा आर्जवं भोगनिष्पत्तिः कुर्यात्प्रीतिं परां तथा

For the accomplished one, one should perform rites for birth, continuation, honesty, attainment of enjoyment, and also supreme satisfaction.

निष्कृत्यर्थं च जात्यायुर्भोगसंस्कारसिद्धये हुत्वाहुतित्रयं देवं प्रार्थयेद्देशिकोत्तमः

For the purpose of expiation, and for the accomplishment of birth, lifespan, enjoyment, and rites, the eminent teacher should offer three oblations and then pray to the deity.

कृत्वैवमेव शिष्यस्य छिंद्यात्पाशत्रयं ततः

Having done thus, he should sever the three bonds of the disciple.

निकृत्या परि बद्धस्य पाशस्यात्यंतभेदतः कृत्वा शिष्यस्य चैतन्यं स्वच्छं मन्येत केवलम्

By removing, through the utmost distinction, the bonds that surround, he should regard the consciousness of the disciple as pure and solely itself.

हुत्वा पूर्णाहुतिं वह्नौ ब्रह्माणं पूजयेत्ततः हुत्वाहुतित्रयं तस्मै शिवाज्ञामनुसंदिशेत्

After offering the full oblation into the fire, he should worship Brahma; then, having offered three oblations, he should impart Shiva's command to him.

पितामह त्वया नास्य यातुः शैवं परं पदम् प्रतिबन्धो विधातव्यः शैवाज्ञैषा गरीयसी

O Grandfather, by you, the aspirant should not attain the supreme Shaiva state; an obstacle must be established, for this Shaiva command is weighty.

इत्यादिश्य तमभ्यर्च्य विसृज च विधानतः समभ्यर्च्य महादेवं जुहुयादाहुतित्रयम्

Having thus instructed him and worshipped him, he should formally release him; after worshipping Mahadeva, he should offer three oblations.

निवृत्त्या शुद्धमुद्धृत्य शिष्यात्मानं यथा पुरा निवेश्यात्मनि सूत्रे च वागीशं पूजयेत्ततः

Having drawn forth the purified self of the disciple by cessation, as before, he should establish it in himself and in the thread, and then worship Vāgīśa.

हुत्वाहुतित्रयं तस्मै प्रणम्य च विसृज्य ताम् कुर्यान्निवृत्तः संधानं प्रतिष्ठां कलया सह

Having offered three oblations to him, bowing and formally releasing, he should, having ceased, perform the joining and establish it with the art.

संधाने युगपत्पूजां कृत्वा हुत्वाहुतित्रयम् शिष्यात्मनः प्रतिष्ठायां प्रवेशं त्वथ भावयेत्

In the joining, having performed simultaneous worship and offered three oblations, he should contemplate the entry of the disciple's self into the establishment.

ततः प्रतिष्ठामावाह्य कृत्वाशेषं पुरोदितम् तद्व्याप्तिं व्यापिकां तस्य वागीशानीं च भावयेत्

Then, having invoked the establishment and performed all the prescribed rites, he should contemplate its pervasion, the pervasive aspect of Vāgīśānī as well.

पूर्णेदुमंडलप्रख्यां कृत्वा शेषं च पूर्ववत् विष्णवे संविशेदाज्ञां शिवस्य परमात्मनः

Having made it resemble a full lunar disk, and as before, he should enter the command of Shiva, the Supreme Self, for Vishnu.

विष्णोर्विसर्जनाद्यं च कृत्वा शेषं च विद्यया प्रतिष्ठामनुसंधाय तस्यां चापि यथा पुरा

Having performed the dismissal of Vishnu and, by knowledge, as before, contemplated the establishment in that, as previously.

कृत्वानुचिन्त्य तद्व्याप्तिं वागीशां च यथाक्रमम् दीप्ताग्नौ पूर्णहोमान्तं कृत्वा शेषं च पूर्ववत्

Having done so, contemplating its pervasion and Vāgīśā in proper order, he should, at the end of the full offering in the blazing fire, perform the remainder as before.

नीलरुद्रमुपस्थाप्य तस्मै पूजादिकं तथा कृत्वा कर्म शिवाज्ञां च दद्यात्पूर्वोक्तवर्त्मना

Having presented Nīlarudra and performed worship and other rites for him, he should carry out the ritual and impart Shiva's command according to the previously stated path.

तपस्तमपि चोद्वास्य कृत्वा तस्याथ शांतये विद्याकलां समाधाय तद्व्याप्तिं चावलोकयेत्

Having dismissed that austerity and performed it for his pacification, he should establish the art of knowledge and observe its pervasion.

स्वात्मनो व्यापिकां तद्वद्वागीशीं च यथा पुरा बालार्कसदृशाकारां भासयंतीं दिशो दश

He should likewise contemplate the pervasive aspect of his own self and Vāgīśī as before, shining in ten directions with the form resembling a young sun.

ततः शेषं यथापूर्वं कृत्वा देवं महेश्वरम् आवाह्याराध्य हुत्वास्मै शिवाज्ञां मनसा दिशेत्

Then, having performed the remainder as before, he should invoke and worship the great Lord, and after offering oblations to him, impart Shiva's command mentally.

महेश्वरं तथोत्सृज्य कृत्वान्यां च कलामिमाम् शांत्यतीतां कलां नीत्वा तद्व्याप्तिमवलोकयेत्

Having thus dismissed Maheshvara and established this other art, he should lead the art beyond tranquility and observe its pervasion.
