Sanskrit Original
प्लावयेच्च कुशाग्रं तु वसोः सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिः। विकीर्य सर्वपात्राणि सुसंप्रोक्ष्य विधानतः।।
plāvayecca kuśāgraṃ tu vasoḥ sūryasya raśmibhiḥ| vikīrya sarvapātrāṇi susaṃprokṣya vidhānataḥ||
Śailādi said: He shall put in the water tips of the Kuśa grass repeating the mantra “vasoḥ sūryasya raśmibhiḥ.” He then turns with face upwards all the vessels and sprinkles them with water in accordance with the injunctions. He shall take the Praṇītā vessel and fill it with water. O sage of good holy rites, he covers the other water perfectly with the tips of Kuśa grass. He lifts the vessel level with the nose, with both the hands and places it in the north-east. Thereafter, he shall perform the splendid rite of warming the ghee in the north-west corner.
