Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

सर्वो ह्युषःप्राचीमुखश्चिन्तयेद्देवपूर्वकान् धर्मानर्थांश्च तत्क्लेशानायं च व्ययमेव च

At dawn, facing east, one should contemplate the duties ordained by the gods, the means of livelihood, the hardships involved, and the expenditure as well.

आयुर्द्वेषश्च मरणं पापं भाग्यं तथैव च व्याधिः पुष्टिस्तथा शक्तिः प्रातरुत्थानदिक्फलम्

One should reflect on lifespan, enmity, death, sin, fortune, disease, nourishment, strength, and the results of rising in the morning.

निशांत्यायामोषा ज्ञेया यामार्धं संधिरुच्यते तत्काले तु समुत्थाय विण्मूत्रे विसृजेद्द्विजः

The end of night is called dawn; half a yāma is called the junction. At that time, having arisen, a twice-born should void urine and feces.

गृहाद्दूरं ततो गत्वा बाह्यतः प्रवृतस्तथा उदङ्मुखः समाविश्य प्रतिबंधे ऽन्यदिङ्मुखः

Going far from the house, in an external place, one should enter facing north; if obstructed, one may face another direction.

जलाग्निब्राह्मणादीनां देवानां नाभिमुख्यतः लिंगं पिधाय वामेन मुखमन्येन पाणिना

One should not face water, fire, Brāhmaṇas, or the gods; covering the organ with the left hand, and the mouth with the other hand.

मलमुत्सृज्य चोत्थाय न पश्येच्चैव तन्मलम् उद्धृतेन जलेनैव शौचं कुर्याज्जलाद्बहिः

Having voided excrement, one should rise and not look at that filth; with water taken up, one should cleanse oneself outside the water.

अथवा देवपित्रार्षतीर्थावतरणं विना सप्त वा पञ्च वा त्रीन्वा गुदं संशोधयेन्मृदा

Alternatively, without descending into a sacred place of gods, ancestors, or seers, one should cleanse the anus with earth seven, five, or three times.

लिंगे कर्कोटमात्रं तु गुदे प्रसृतिरिष्यते तत उत्थाय पद्धस्तशौचं गण्डूषमष्टकम्

The measure for cleansing the organ is the size of a karkoṭa; for the anus, thorough cleansing is prescribed. Then, rising, one should wash the hands and rinse the mouth eight times.

येन केन च पत्रेण काष्ठेन च जलाद्बहिः कार्यं संत्यज्य तर्जनीं दंतधावनमीरितम्

With any vessel or with wood, outside the water, one should clean, avoiding the index finger; cleaning the teeth is prescribed.

जलदेवान्नमस्कृत्य मंत्रेण स्नानमाचरेत् अशक्तः कंठदघ्नं वा कटिदघ्नमथापि वा

Having saluted water and the gods with a mantra, one should bathe; if unable, one may bathe up to the throat or up to the waist.

आजानु जलमाविश्य मंत्रस्नानं समाचरेत् देवादींस्तर्पयेद्विद्वांस्तत्र तीर्थजलेन च

Immersing oneself in water up to the knees, one should perform the mantra-bath; the wise should offer libations to the gods and others there with sacred water.

धौतवस्त्रं समादाय पञ्चकच्छेन धारयेत् उत्तरीयं च किं चैव धार्यं सर्वेषु कर्मसु

Taking a washed garment, one should wear it with five folds; an upper garment also should be worn in all rites.

नद्यादितीर्थस्नाने तु स्नानवस्त्रं न शोधयेत् वापीकूपगृहादौ तु स्नानादूर्ध्वं नयेद्बुधः

When bathing in a river or other sacred water, one should not wash the bathing garment; but in a pond, well, or house, the wise should wash after bathing.

शिलादार्वादिके वापि जले वापि स्थलेपि वा संशोध्य पीडयेद्वस्त्रं पित्ःणां तृप्तये द्विजाः

Whether on a stone, grass, in water, or on land, one should wash and wring the garment for the satisfaction of the ancestors, O twice-born.

जाबालकोक्तमंत्रेण भस्मना च त्रिपुंड्रकम् अन्यथा चेज्जले पात इतस्तन्नरकमृच्छति

With ashes, one should mark the three lines on the forehead with the mantra taught by Jābāla; otherwise, if done in water, one attains that hell.

आपोहिष्ठेति शिरसि प्रोक्षयेत्पापशांतये यस्येति मंत्रं पादे तु संधिप्रोक्षणमुच्यते

Reciting 'āpohiṣṭha' upon the head, one should sprinkle for the removal of sin; reciting 'yasya' upon the feet is called the sprinkling at the joints.

पादे मूर्ध्नि हृदि चैव मूर्ध्नि हृत्पाद एव च हृत्पादमूर्ध्नि संप्रोक्ष्य मंत्रस्नानं विदुर्बुधाः

Upon the feet, head, and heart, indeed, upon the head, heart, and feet, after sprinkling the heart, feet, and head, the wise know this as the mantra-bath.

ईषत्स्पर्शे च दौः स्वास्थ्ये राजराष्ट्रभये ऽपि च अत्यागतिकाले च मंत्रस्नानं समाचरेत्

When touched slightly, in illness, in fear from kings or kingdom, and also at the time of excessive absence, one should perform the mantra-bath.

प्रातः सूर्यानुवाकेन सायमग्न्यनुवाकतः अपः पीत्वा तथामध्ये पुनः प्रोक्षणमाचरेत्

In the morning, with the Sūrya Anuvāka, in the evening, with the Agni Anuvāka, after drinking water, and likewise at midday, one should again perform sprinkling.

गायत्र्या जपमंत्रांते वीरूर्ध्वं प्राग्विनिक्षिपेत् मंत्रेण सह चैकं वै मध्ये ऽर्घ्यं तु रवेर्द्विजा

At the end of reciting the Gāyatrī mantra, one should throw the water upwards and eastwards; together with the mantra, one should offer a single arghya to the Sun in the middle, O twice-born.

अथ जाते च सायाह्ने भुवि पश्चिमदिङ्मुखः उद्धृत्य दद्यात्प्रातस्तु मध्याह्नेंगुलिभिस्तथा

Then, at sunset, facing west on the earth, one should lift and offer; in the morning and at midday, one should offer with the fingers likewise.

अंगुलीनां च रंध्रेण लंबं पश्येद्दिवाकरम् आत्मप्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा शुद्धाचमनमाचरेत्

Through the opening between the fingers, one should see the Sun hanging; after circumambulating oneself, one should perform pure sipping of water.

सायं मुहूर्तादर्वाक्तु कृता संध्या वृथा भवेत् अकालात्काल इत्युक्तो दिने ऽतीते यथाक्रमम्

If the evening Sandhyā is performed after the appointed time, it becomes fruitless; performing at the wrong time is called 'timely' only after the day has passed, according to order.

दिवा ऽतीते च गायत्रीं शतं नित्ये क्रमाज्जपेत् आदर्शाहात्परा ऽतीते गायत्रीं लक्षमभ्यसेत्

After the day has passed, one should recite the Gāyatrī a hundred times daily in order; after the mirror period has passed, one should practice the Gāyatrī a hundred thousand times.

मासातीते तु नित्ये हि पुनश्चोपनयं चरेत् ईशो गौरीगुहो विष्णुर्ब्रह्मा चेंद्रश्च वै यमः

After a month has passed, one should again perform the daily upanayana; Īśa, Gaurī, Guha, Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Indra, and Yama.

एवं रूपांश्च वै देवांस्तर्पयेदर्थसिद्धये ब्रह्मार्पणं ततः कृत्वा शुद्धाचमनमाचरेत्

In this way, one should satisfy the forms of these deities for the attainment of purpose; after offering to Brahman, one should perform pure sipping of water.

तीर्थदक्षिणतः शस्ते मठे मंत्रालये बुधः तत्र देवालये वापि गृहे वा नियतस्थले

To the south of the sacred place, in a monastery or mantra-hall, the wise should perform; there, in a temple or even at home, at a fixed place.

सर्वान्देवान्नमस्कृत्य स्थिरबुद्धिः स्थिरासनः प्रणवं पूर्वमभ्यस्य गायत्रीमभ्यसेत्ततः

Having saluted all the gods, with steady mind and steady seat, one should first recite the Praṇava, then recite the Gāyatrī.

जीवब्रह्मैक्यविषयं बुद्ध्वा प्रणवमभ्यसेत् त्रैलोक्यसृष्टिकर्तारं स्थितिकर्तारमच्युतम्

Understanding the subject of unity of the individual and Brahman, one should recite the Praṇava, the creator of the three worlds, the sustainer, the imperishable.
