Translation

Luego, tras ofrecer agua purificadora, tāmbūla (betel), una lámpara, ārati, refrescos fríos y el resto del culto—alabando según la propia capacidad—debe decirse: «Perdona lo bueno o lo errado que se haya hecho», y así concluir formalmente el rito. Después, inclinándose de nuevo, ofrézcanse a un brāhmaṇa oro, vestiduras, el cordón sagrado (upavīta) y ornamentos; recogiendo el nirmālya (restos de las ofrendas), deposítese en el agua.

FAQs

Ritual worship should end with humility—seeking forgiveness for errors—and with dāna (charity) to sanctify the rite.

No single tīrtha is named in this verse; it gives general dharmic procedure for concluding worship (especially Sūrya-oriented rites in this adhyāya).

Offer concluding upacāras (water, lamp, ārati, cooling offerings), perform kṣamāprārthanā, do visarjana, give gifts to a brāhmaṇa, and immerse nirmālya in water.
