Śailādi said: He shall collect lotus and other red flowers and put them to his right. He shall place the water-pot towards his left. Copper vessels are sacred to the sun and they are conducive to the achievement of all desired objects. The Arghya vessels shall then be taken and washed duly with the water as stated before. The water shall also be collected in the bigger vessel. The Arghya water shall contain all the articles meant for Arghya, It shall be kept there together with the water consecrated with the Astra mantra.
