Sanskrit Original
अघोरेण फडन्तेन संसृतिश्च न संशयः। प्रतितत्त्वं क्रमो ह्येष योगमार्गेण सुव्रत।।
aghoreṇa phaḍantena saṃsṛtiśca na saṃśayaḥ| pratitattvaṃ kramo hyeṣa yogamārgeṇa suvrata||
Sūta said: Know that the rites of worship, Samprokṣaṇa (sprinkling with holy water), Tāḍana, Haraṇa, the Saṃyoga (joining) of the Saṃhata (what is combined and collected) and Vikṣepa (throwing off) shall be performed in due order. Arcanā (worship), Garbhadhāraṇa (conceiving), Janana (nativity) (are the rites thereafter?). Then the rite of Bhānu knowledge and its dissolution in particular shall be performed. O sage of good holy rites, the first one i.e. the mantra Īśāna has been mentioned along with the yonibīja.[9] Undoubtedly, O great sage, the conclusion of the rites in Uddhāra (uplifting) Prokṣaṇa (sprinkling with the holy water), and. Tāḍana is performed by the Aghora mantra ending with Phaṭ. O sage of good holy rites, this is the orderly procedure by means of the Yogic path in regard to every tattva.
