Sanskrit Original

sarvāvaraṇadevānāṃ pañcapañcaiva pūrvavat| īśānādikrameṇaiva śaktibījakrameṇa ca||
Śailādi said: To all the deities surrounding the lord, five offerings are made individually in the order of Īśāna, etc. or Śaktibīja, etc. The atonement is done with Aghora mantra. The rites ending with Sviṣṭakṛt are performed as before. Thus, the splendid rite in the fire of three types has been mentioned by me. O great sage, as opportunity offers, these shall be performed daily. At the end of his life the devotee attains heaven. He attains the power of igniting the gastric fire. He never falls into the hell whatever be his actions. The aspirant who seeks salvation shall perform the non-violent sacrifice. One shall meditate on the fire stationed in the heart and perform sacrifice Dhyānayajña (meditation). After realizing Śiva stationed in the body of all living beings, the lord of universe, he shall devoutly perform the sacrifice by Prāṇāyāma perpetually. He who performs the external Homa becomes a frog in the rock.
