Varaha Purana 129.51: Adhyaya 129, Shloka 51
Initiation for the Four Social Orders, Sandhyā Mantra Procedure, and the Merit of Offering Water in a Copper Vessel
मुहूर्त्तं ध्यानमास्थाय इमं मन्त्रमुदीरयेत् ॥ सिक्थानि तत्र यावन्ति ताम्रप्रापणके धरे ॥
muhūrttaṃ dhyānam āsthāya imaṃ mantram udīrayet || sikthāni tatra yāvanti tāmraprāpaṇake dhare
थोड़ा टाइम ध्यान करो, मुहूर्त भर। फिर यह मंत्र बोलो। तांबे के बर्तन के पास जितने पानी के बूंदें हैं, उतना ही आपको पुण्य मिलेगा।
