Devas said:: Free from Rajoguṇa, he shall perform Homa. He shall become free from sins. The devotee then repeats the following mantras—“May the five vital airs[17] be sanctified. May the organ of speech, mind, feet etc. be sanctified. May all these be sanctified, viz—the ears, tongue, breath, intellect, head, hands, sides, back, belly, calves, penis, vagina, rectum, scrotum, skin, flesh, blood, fat, bones, sound, touch, colour, taste, smell etc. May these elements be sanctified. So also the fat. May, by the grace of Śiva’s will, the cooked rice, the vital airs, mind and perfect knowledge be purified.” He shall then perform the sacrifice with ghee, sacrificial twigs and Caru offerings in due order. Thereafter, he shall extinguish the Rudra fire and take the bhasman assiduously. Repeating the mantra “Agni”[18] etc. the intelligent devotee shall wipe off his limbs and touch them.
