Hoặc, sau khi cẩn trọng quán niệm toàn bộ nghi thức gia trì (saṃskāra) của mantra theo đúng thứ tự, bậc Guru nên thực hiện sự thanh tịnh các adhvan (những lộ trình nghi lễ–vũ trụ), và kết thúc bằng nghi lễ abhiṣeka (tắm rưới thánh thủy).

It teaches that mantra becomes spiritually effective through proper saṃskāra under a Guru, and that inner and cosmic purification (adhva-śuddhi) culminates in abhiṣeka—symbolizing grace (anugraha) and readiness for Shiva-realization.
Abhiṣeka is a primary Saguna Shiva practice centered on the Linga; here it is presented as the concluding seal of mantra-rite and purification, uniting ritual worship with the deeper Shaiva Siddhanta aim of cleansing pasha (bondage) through guru-led discipline.
A Guru-led sequence of mantra-saṃskāra and adhva-śuddhi, completed by Shiva-abhiṣeka—practically expressed as disciplined japa with proper initiation and a concluding abhiṣeka offering (water, milk, etc.) as per tradition.
