Śailādi said: Repeating the fourth Bīja mantra he shall divide the earth into two parts. With one part he shall dispel dirt. He shall then bathe. Repeating the sixth Bīja mantra he shall divide the remaining part of the earth kept in the hand, into three parts; he shall apply the middle one all over the body repeating the fourth Bīja mantra. Repeating the sixth Bīja mantra he shall smear the earth over the middle part of the body seven times. Repeating the Mūla mantra he shall stroke the left side. The ritualistic binding of the quarters (Diśābandha) shall be performed repeating the sixth Bīja mantra ten times. The holy water shall be smeared with the left side portion of the mud and the body with the right portion. Repeating all the Bīja mantras he shall take bath remembering the sun. He shall then perform the rite of ablution by means of a horn, leafcups or the petal of the Palāśa flower repeating these splendid mantras pertaining to the sun. They are conducive to the achievement of all Siddhis.
