Sūta said: He should repeat the mantra of Aghora a hundred thousand times and perform homa with ghee, cooked rice, sacrificial twigs, gingelly seeds, barley grains and unhusked grains. He should perforin homa, seven times separately with each one of these materials. If the materials are not available he should perform homa with ghee alone. O brahmins, he should perform homas as well as ablution for the lord with ghee while repeating the Aghora Mantra. He should bathe the lord with eight droṇa[7] measures of ghee and wipe it off. He should then observe fast for a whole day and night, take holy bath and drink kūrca before the image of Śiva. After performing the rite of ācamana he should repeat Gāyatrī.
