Nandin said: Taking bath again he shall discard the dirty cloth; wear (fresh) white one and perform ablution again. For dispelling sins he shall invoke Varuṇa. He shall them worship the lord by meditation. He shall perform ācamana thrice, and then plunge into the holy waters (all the while) thinking about Śiva. Again doing ācamana he shall inspire the holy water with Mantras. Plunging again into the water he shall repeat the Aghamarṣaṇa[9] Mantra. With great selfcontrol the devotee shall remember the discs of the sun, moon and fire in that water.
