Sūta said:: The devotee conversant with the mantras shall sprinkle the ground duly with water and scrub it with cow-dung. He shall then make the mystic diagram in the form of a square measuring a gocarma (i.e. 150 Hastas a side). He shall then decorate it with canopies, or charming umbrellas. He shall embellish them with globe-like bubbles or crescentshaped trinkets made of gold or the leaves of Aśvattha tree. He shall decorate it with full blown white, red or blue lotuses; also strings of pearls shall be suspended from the extremities of the canopies. He shall embellish it with white banners and silken Vaijayantīs (Ensigns) or garlands of sprouts and fruits. There shall be white mud-pots and elegant water-jars filled with water. He shall have fifty lamps in a row and five kinds of incense.
