नेत्राणां चाञ्जनं कृत्वा सिन्दूरं चैव मस्तके । पूगीफलानि हृद्यानि वासितानि मृदूनि च । हस्ते दत्त्वा सपात्राणि प्रणिपत्य विसर्जयेत्
netrāṇāṃ cāñjanaṃ kṛtvā sindūraṃ caiva mastake | pūgīphalāni hṛdyāni vāsitāni mṛdūni ca | haste dattvā sapātrāṇi praṇipatya visarjayet
Aplicando añjana aos olhos e sindūra à cabeça, coloquem-se em suas mãos agradáveis nozes de bétele (pūgī)—perfumadas e macias—junto com recipientes; então, após reverência, despeçam-nas com respeito.
