avagāhya punastasmin japedvai cāghamarṣaṇam tattoye bhānusomāgnimaṇḍalaṃ ca smaredvaśī

Translation

Setelah menyelamkan diri sekali lagi dalam air itu, pengamal yang berdisiplin hendaklah melafazkan mantra Aghamarṣaṇa, pemusnah dosa. Dan di dalam air itu juga, hendaklah dia merenungkan mandala suria, mandala bulan, dan mandala api, sambil menundukkan indera. Dengan mantra dan penglihatan batin ini, paśu dibimbing dari kekotoran menuju kesucian Śiva.
