Description of the Brāhmaṇa Initiation Procedure
Dīkṣā-sūtra
ततो गृहीत्वा चरणौ गुरोर्यत्नात्सुतोषयेत् ॥ शिरसा चाञ्जलिं कृत्वा मनश्चैव सुसंयतम् ॥ गुरूपदिष्टं सन्धार्य इमं मन्त्रं उदीरयेत् ॥
tato gṛhītvā caraṇau guror yatnāt sutoṣayet || śirasā cāñjaliṃ kṛtvā manaś caiva susaṃyatam || gurūpadiṣṭaṃ sandhārya imaṃ mantram udīrayet ||
फिर गुरु के पाँव हाथ में ले के उन्हे खुश करना है। सिर झुका के हाथ जोड़ के, और मन को ठीक से कंट्रोल में रखते हुए। जो गुरु ने बताया है वो याद रखते हुए यह मंत्र बोलना है।
