Then the Acharya should enter the pavilion and perform the ritual known as ‘punyaha vacana’
(declaring the auspiciousness of the day and the event). He should design a sthandila(platform,
raised a little) over the altar making use of 8 dronas of paddy grains, 4 dronas of unhusked rice,
2 dronas of sesame and 2 dronas of parched paddy. He should place Sivakumbha and Vardhani
kumbha in the middle. In the outer side, he should array 8 kumbhas around these two.
ससूत्रान् सपिधानांश्च सवस्त्रान् हेमसंयुतान्।

These kumbhas should have been wound around with three-stranded thread. These should
be with fitting lids, well covered with cloth, filled up with perfumed water mixed with sandal.
A gold coin or plate should be placed within it. All the kumbhas should be with a bunch of
darbhas and tender leaves. The Acharya should worship these kumbhas with sandal and
flowers and offer the cooked rice and other eatables.
