Śailādi said: O excellent brahmin, he shall then wear a red cloth and perform the rite of Ācamana. During day time he shall repeat the Ācamana mantra beginning with “Sūryaśca.” During the night he shall repeat the mantra beginning with “Agniśca”. During the midday he shall repeat the mantra “Āpaḥ Punantu”. This is called mantrācamana. After performing the purificatory rite repeating the sixth Bīja mantra he shall repeat the first excellent Bīja mantra.
