उपलेपनादिकथनम्

Vastraputa-jala, Ahimsa, and Conduct in Shiva Worship

Devanagari script

कार्यमभ्युक्षणं नित्यं स्नपनं च विशेषतः त्रैलोक्यमखिलं हत्वा यत्फलं परिकीर्त्यते

Transliteration

kāryamabhyukṣaṇaṃ nityaṃ snapanaṃ ca viśeṣataḥ trailokyamakhilaṃ hatvā yatphalaṃ parikīrtyate

Translation

应当日日行阿毗优克沙那（abhyukṣaṇa，洒净水供养），尤当为湿婆林伽行斯那帕那（snapana，仪式沐浴）。此行所宣说之功德，据称广大无比，乃至可与“毁尽三界之后所述之果报”等量齐观——其福德之胜妙，如是昭然。
