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.
