गायत्रीं शिरसा हीनां महाव्याहृतिपूर्व्विकाम् । प्रणवाद्यां जपंस्तिष्ठन्क्षिपेदंभोंजलि त्रयम्
gāyatrīṃ śirasā hīnāṃ mahāvyāhṛtipūrvvikām | praṇavādyāṃ japaṃstiṣṭhankṣipedaṃbhoṃjali trayam
立ったまま、ガーヤトリー(Gāyatrī)を誦すべし――シラス(Śiras)の部分を除き、大いなるヴャーフリティ(Vyāhṛtis)を先にし、プラナヴァ(Praṇava、オーム)より始め――そして水を三度、手に掬って供えよ。
Skanda (deduced from Dharmāraṇya-khaṇḍa narrative style within Brahmakhaṇḍa)
Type: ghat
Scene: At dawn or dusk, a practitioner stands facing the sun, reciting Gāyatrī with focused gaze, then offers three arghyas—three arcs of water glittering in the light.
Purification is secured through disciplined mantra-recitation (Gāyatrī with vyāhṛtis and Oṃ) coupled with a reverent water-offering.
No specific locality is named; the instruction is portable and aligns with tīrtha-dharma as practiced anywhere.
Standing, recite Gāyatrī (without the Śiras), preceded by Mahāvyāhṛtis and beginning with Praṇava, then offer/cast three añjalis of water.
