Nandin said: The aspirant shall wipe it off with a white cloth. He shall put Kuśa grass, Apāmārga, camphor, Jasmine, China rose, white jasmines, lotuses, lilies, white oleanders and other flowers into the water along with sandal paste. He shall inspire the water by repeating the Mantras of Sadyojāta. The water may be taken in a vessel made of gold, silver or copper. It may be in a lotus cup or a cup of palāśa. The conch or an earthern jar can be used. In the latter case it should be fresh and well washed. Repeating the requisite Mantras he shall bathe the deity in the water containing Kuśa grass[11] or flowers. For all achievements he shall repeat the Mantras. Now I shall mention the mantras to you; please listen.
