maṃdehadehanāśārthamudayāstamaye raviḥ | samīhate dvijotsṛṣṭaṃ maṃtratoyāṃjalitrayam
Ao nascer e ao pôr do sol, o Sol empenha-se em destruir os corpos dos Mandehas; por isso anseia pelas três conchas de água, santificadas por mantra, oferecidas por um dvija (duas-vezes-nascido).
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (Gaṅgā-ghāṭa sandhyā)
Type: ghat
Scene: At the riverbank at dawn/dusk, a dvija stands in añjali posture offering three streams of water toward the rising/setting Sun; subtle shadowy Mandeha figures dissolve in solar radiance above the horizon.
Daily Sandhyā practice—offering mantra-consecrated water to Sūrya—supports cosmic order and removes obstructive forces.
The teaching occurs in the Kāśī-khaṇḍa’s praise-context, where Kāśī is upheld as the supreme field for dharma and mantra-upāsanā.
Offering three añjalis (three cupped handfuls) of water sanctified with mantra at sunrise and sunset (Sandhyā times).
