Mantra: Om, he who is all-excellent, the lord, the power of illusion, chief among those endowed with yogic strength.

ज्वलन पवनतुल्यावन भावन तपन श्वासन स्वयं तिष्ठ भगवन् पुरुषोत्तम ओम् ततो द्वारमुपागम्य वेश्म शीघ्रं प्रवेशयेत् 184.

O Lord, who are like fire and wind, who are the purifier, the illuminator, the breath, and who exist by your own will, O Supreme Person, Om—then, approaching the doorway, quickly bring the image into the house.

अर्च्चनालंकृतं कृत्वा गन्धधूपादिभिः प्रभुम्

Having decorated the Lord with worship, using sandal, incense, and the like,

दत्त्वा स्वादु च नैवेद्यं शान्तिपाठं तु कारयेत्

On the Jyeshtha star, one should bring it into my temple.

अर्घ्यं गृह्य यथान्यायमिमं मन्त्रमुदाहरेत्

Taking arghya as is proper, one should recite this mantra.

योऽसौ भवान्सर्वयज्ञेषु पूज्यो ध्येयो गोप्ता विश्वकामो महात्मा
