कोलं वा कूपतो ग्राह्यं भूतायां निशि तज्जलम् । तेनोदकेन मृत्तिकया कृत्वा नेत्रद्वयाञ्जनम्
kolaṃ vā kūpato grāhyaṃ bhūtāyāṃ niśi tajjalam | tenodakena mṛttikayā kṛtvā netradvayāñjanam
В полночь следует зачерпнуть воду из пруда или колодца. Этой водой и священной глиной нужно приготовить анджану — мазь для обоих глаз.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Purāṇic rites often join purity (water), sanctity (mṛttikā), and disciplined timing (midnight) to awaken subtle perception.
The rite is part of the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa tīrtha-sequence; the immediately relevant named tīrtha in the surrounding passage is Stambha-tīrtha.
Collect midnight water from a pond or well and mix it with sacred clay to make collyrium for both eyes.
