तत्र क्षेत्रे नरः स्नात्वा अथवार्कस्थले शुभे । मृदा शुक्ल तिलैश्चैव कपिलासंगमे शुभे
tatra kṣetre naraḥ snātvā athavārkasthale śubhe | mṛdā śukla tilaiścaiva kapilāsaṃgame śubhe
Tại thánh địa ấy, sau khi tắm gội—hoặc tại Arkasthala cát tường—hãy cử hành nghi lễ với đất thanh tịnh và mè trắng, nơi chỗ hợp lưu cát tường của Kapilā.
Īśvara (Śiva)
