Ritual Procedure for Consecration
करणधारणप्रवध्यं उदाहरणम् अपराजितम् अजारामर । सम्पूज्य स्नापयात्मानम् अनेन मन्त्रेण ॐ नमो वासुदेवाय ॥ एवं तु स्थापनं कृत्वा शिलायां मम सुन्दरि ॥ ततोऽधिवासनं कार्यं पूर्वप्रोष्ठपदासु च
karaṇadhāraṇapravadhyaṃ udāharaṇam aparājitam ajārāmara | sampūjya snāpayātmānam anena mantreṇa oṃ namo vāsudevāya || evaṃ tu sthāpanaṃ kṛtvā śilāyāṃ mama sundari || tato 'dhivāsanaṃ kāryaṃ pūrvaproṣṭhapadāsu ca
पहले पूजा करो। फिर अपने आप को पानी से धो। ओम नमो वासुदेवाय यह मंत्र बोलो। पत्थर पर मूर्ति लगाओ। फिर एक स्पेशल पूजा करनी है। वो भी एक स्पेशल दिन में करनी है।
