Śailādi said: Then the devotee shall inspire with the mantras the following things thus:—The scent with the Sadya mantra, the cloth with the Vāma mantra; the ornament with the Aghora mantra, the Naivedya with the Tatpuruṣa mantra, and the flowers with the Īśāna mantra. He shall sprinkle the remaining things repeating Śiva Gāyatrī. He shall inspire the Pañcāmṛta, pañcagavya and other things by means of the Vedāṅgas, Mūla[15] mantras and other mantras. He shall consecrate the materials by offering Arghya, Dhūpa (incense) and Ācamanīya severally, repeating the Mūla mantra. He shall show the Dhenu-mudrā (the gesture of cow) to them, cover them up by means of Kavaca mantra and accord protection by means of Astramantra.
