Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

वासुदेवं पुरस्कृत्वा प्रथमावरणे यजेत् अनिरुद्धं दक्षिणतः प्रद्युम्नं पश्चिमे ततः

Placing Vasudeva at the front, one should worship him in the first enclosure; Aniruddha in the south, Pradyumna in the west thereafter.

सौम्ये संकर्षणं पश्चाद्व्यत्यस्तौ वा यजेदिमौ प्रथमावरणं प्रोक्तं द्वितीयावरणं शुभम्

In the gentle north, Sankarshana is worshipped afterwards; or these two may be interchanged. This is called the first enclosure; the second enclosure is auspicious.

मत्स्यः कूर्मो वराहश्च नरसिंहोथ वामनः रामश्चान्यतमः कृष्णो भवानश्वमुखोपि च

Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Rama, any other, Krishna, Bhava, and even the horse-faced form.

तृतीयावरणे चक्रुः पूर्वभागे समर्चयेत् नारायणाख्यां याम्येस्त्रं क्वचिदव्याहतं यजेत्

In the third enclosure, one should worship in the eastern part, offering reverence to the Narayana aspect; in the southern direction, one should perform sacrifice to the Yama weapon, wherever unobstructed.

पश्चिमे पांचजन्यं च शार्ङ्गंधनुरथोत्तरे एवं त्र्यावरणैः साक्षाद्विश्वाख्यां परमं हरिम्

In the western direction, the Panchajanya (conch) should be worshipped, and the Sharnga bow in the northern direction; thus, with three enclosures, one should directly worship Hari, known as Vishva, the supreme.

महाविष्णुं सदाविष्णुं मूर्तीकृत्य समर्चयेत् इत्थं विष्णोश्चतुर्व्यूहक्रमान्मूर्तिचतुष्टयम् पूजयित्वा च तच्छक्तीश्चतस्रः पुजयेत्क्रमात्

One should always worship Mahavishnu, the eternal Vishnu, manifesting his form; thus, having worshipped the fourfold forms of Vishnu according to the order of the four Vyuhas, one should then worship their four powers in succession.

प्रभामाग्नेयदिग्भागे नैरृते तु सरस्वतीम् गणांबिका च वायव्ये लक्ष्मीं रौद्रे समर्चयेत्

In the eastern direction, Prabha should be worshipped; in the southwest, Sarasvati; in the northwest, Ganambika; in the northern direction, Lakshmi; and in the western direction, Raudri.

एवं भान्वादिमूर्तीनां तच्छक्तीनामनंतरम् पूजां विधाय लोकेशांस्तत्रैवावरणे यजेत्

In this way, having worshipped the forms beginning with Bhanu and their respective powers without interruption, one should then worship the Lords of the world in that same enclosure.

इन्द्रमग्निं यमं चैव निरृतिं वरुणं तथा वायुं सोमं कुबेरं च पश्चादीशानमर्चयेत्

Indra, Agni, Yama, Nirriti, Varuna, Vayu, Soma, Kubera, and then Ishana should be worshipped in succession.

एवं चतुर्थावरणं पूजयित्वा विधानतः आयुधानि महेशस्य पश्चाद्बांह्यं समर्चयेत्

Thus, having worshipped the fourth enclosure according to the prescribed method, one should then worship the weapons of Mahesha outside, in the western direction.

श्रीमन्त्रिशूलमैशाने वज्रं माहेन्द्रदिङ्मुखे परशुं वह्निदिग्भागे याम्ये सायकमर्चयेत्

The trident of Ishana should be worshipped in the eastern direction; the thunderbolt in the direction of Indra; the axe in the direction of Agni; and the arrow in the southern direction.

नैरृते तु यजेत्खड्गं पाशं वारुणगोचरे अंकुशं मारुते भागे पिनाकं चोत्तरे यजेत्

In the southwest, one should worship the sword; in the region of Varuna, the noose; in the region of Vayu, the goad; and in the northern direction, the Pinaka bow.

पश्चिमाभिमुखं रौद्रं क्षेत्रपालं समर्चयेत् पञ्चमावरणं चैव सम्पूज्यानन्तरं बहिः

Facing west, one should worship the fierce Kshetrapala; and after completing the worship of the fifth enclosure, one should worship outside.

सर्वावरणदेवानां बहिर्वा पञ्चमे ऽथवा पञ्चमे मातृभिस्सार्धं महोक्ष पुरतो यजेत्

Outside all the enclosure deities, or in the fifth enclosure, one should worship Mahoksha in front, together with the Mothers.

ततः समंततः पूज्यास्सर्वा वै देवयोनयः खेचरा ऋषयस्सिद्धा दैत्या यक्षाश्च राक्षसाः

Then, all divine lineages should be worshipped everywhere: those who dwell in the sky, sages, siddhas, demons, yakshas, and rakshasas.

अनंताद्याश्च नागेंद्रा नागैस्तत्तत्कुलोद्भवैः डाकिनीभूतवेतालप्रेतभैरवनायकाः

The serpent kings beginning with Ananta, along with serpents born from their respective clans; Dakinis, ghosts, vetalas, pretas, and leaders of Bhairavas.

पातालवासिनश्चान्ये नानायोनिसमुद्भवाः नद्यस्समुद्रा गिरयः काननानि सरांसि च

Others who dwell in the netherworld, born from various lineages; rivers, oceans, mountains, forests, and lakes.

पशवः पक्षिणो वृक्षाः कीटाद्याः क्षुद्रयोनयः नराश्च विविधाकारा मृगाश्च क्षुद्रयोनयः

Animals, birds, trees, insects, and other small creatures; humans of various forms, and beasts of minor lineages.

भुवनान्यन्तरण्डस्य ततो ब्रह्माण्डकोटयः बहिरंडान्यसंख्यानि भुवनानि सहाधिपैः

The worlds within the cosmic egg, then countless Brahmanda universes outside, innumerable eggs and worlds together with their rulers.

ब्रह्मांडाधारका रुद्रा दशदिक्षु व्यवस्थिताः यद्गौड यच्च मामेयं यद्वा शाक्तं ततः परम्

The Rudras who support the Brahmanda are established in the ten directions; whatever is Gauda, whatever is Maimeya, and whatever is Shakta, beyond that.

यत्किञ्चिदस्ति शब्दस्य वाच्यं चिदचिदात्मकम् तत्सर्वं शिवयोः पार्श्वे बुद्ध्वा सामान्यतो यजेत्

Whatever exists as the meaning of speech, whether conscious or unconscious, all of it, having understood in general, should be worshipped at the side of Shiva.

कृतांजलिपुटाः सर्वे ऽचिंत्याः स्मितमुखास्तथा प्रीत्या संप्रेक्षमाणाश्च देवं देवीं च सर्वदा

All, with hands joined in reverence, with smiling faces, ever gaze with affection upon the Lord and the Goddess.

इत्थमावरणाभ्यर्चां कृत्वाविक्षेपशांतये पुनरभ्यर्च्य देवेशं पक्त्वाक्षरमुदीरयेत्

Thus, having performed the worship of the coverings for the sake of calming distraction, one should again worship the Lord of gods and recite the imperishable syllable.

निवेदयेत्ततः पश्चाच्छिवयोरमृतोपमम् सुव्यञ्जनसमायुक्तं शुद्धं चारु महाचरुम्

Then, one should offer to Shiva and his consort a great oblation, pure and beautiful, like nectar, well-prepared and adorned with fine ingredients.

द्वात्रिंशदाढकैर्मुख्यमधमं त्वाढकावरम् साधयित्वा यथासंपच्छ्रद्धया विनिवेदयेत्

The chief offering is prepared with thirty-two measures, the lesser with fewer; having prepared them according to one's means and with faith, one should offer them.

ततो निवेद्य पानीयं तांबूलं चोपदंशकैः नीराजनादिकं कृत्वा पूजाशेषं समापयेत्

After that, one should offer water for rinsing, betel with condiments, perform waving of lights and other rites, and thus complete the remaining acts of worship.

भोगोपयोग्यद्रव्याणि विशिष्टान्येव साधयेत् वित्तशाठ्यं न कुर्वीत भक्तिमान्विभवे सति

One should prepare only the finest substances suitable for enjoyment; a devotee with means should not act with miserliness or deceit.

शठस्योपेक्षकस्यापि व्यंग्यं चैवानुतिष्ठतः न फलंत्येव कर्माणि काम्यानीति सतां कथा

It is said among the virtuous that for one who is deceitful, neglectful, or performs the rites with duplicity, the desired actions do not bear fruit.

तस्मात्सम्यगुपेक्षां च त्यक्त्वा सर्वांगयोगतः कुर्यात्काम्यानि कर्माणि फलसिद्धिं यदीच्छति

Therefore, abandoning all forms of neglect and engaging fully, one should perform the desired rites if one wishes for the attainment of their results.
