The Greatness and Rite of the Sesame-Cow (Tiladhenu) Gift
एवं सम्पूज्य देवान्श्च लोकपालान् प्रसन्नधीः ॥ पश्चात्प्रदक्षिणान् शिष्यान् बद्धनेत्रान् प्रवेशयेत् ॥ आग्नेयी वारुणी दग्धा वायुना विधिना ततः ॥
evaṃ sampūjya devāṃś ca lokapālān prasannadhīḥ || paścāt pradakṣiṇān śiṣyān baddhanetrān praveśayet || āgneyī vāruṇī dagdhā vāyunā vidhinā tataḥ ||
पहले भगवान और दुनिया के रक्षकों की पूरा सम्मान के साथ पूजा करो। मन शांत रख के। फिर शिष्यों को आँखें बंद करके अंदर ले जाओ, जब वो मंदिर के चारों तरफ चल के आए हों। उसके बाद अग्नि और वरुण के हिसाब से साफ करना होता है, वायु के थ्रू सही तरीके से।
