गवां मध्ये शुचिर्भूत्वा गोमतीं मनसा जपेत् । पुताभिरद्धिराचम्य शुचिर्भवति निर्मल:,पवित्र जलसे आचमन करके पवित्र होकर गौओंके बीचमें गोमतीमन्त्र (गोमाँ अग्नेविमाँ अश्वि इत्यादि) का मन-ही-मन जप करे। ऐसा करनेसे वह अत्यन्त शुद्ध एवं निर्मल (पापमुक्त) हो जाता है
Translation
Having sipped pure water in ācamana and become clean, let one stand amid the cows and mentally recite the Gomatī mantra. By doing so, one becomes exceedingly pure and spotless, freed from sin.
