Brahmin Right Conduct: Morning Remembrance, Bathing, Purification, and Tarpaṇa Method
आरोग्यार्थं च सूर्यं च धर्ममोक्षाय माधवम् । शिवं च कृत्यकामार्थं सर्वकामाय चंडिकाम्
ārogyārthaṃ ca sūryaṃ ca dharmamokṣāya mādhavam | śivaṃ ca kṛtyakāmārthaṃ sarvakāmāya caṃḍikām
ஆரோக்கியத்திற்காக சூரியனை வழிபடுக; தர்மமும் மோட்சமும் பெற மாதவனை (விஷ்ணுவை) பக்தியுடன் போற்றுக. கிரியைகளின் சித்தியும் விரும்பிய செயல்களின் வெற்றியும் பெற சிவனைப் பூஜிக்க; எல்லா ஆசைகளும் நிறைவேறச் சண்டிகா தேவியை ஆராதிக்க.
