Then the learned Guru should perform the daily, occasional or optional worship for the supreme Lord.
He should arrange the kalasas(snapana) arrayed according to a recommended pattern. Such patterns are
numerous. He should purify the ground with the recital of astra mantra and smear the cow-dung over it
with the recital of vamadeva mantra. He should design a square mandala by drawing the east-west lines
and north-south lines, space between the lines being one span(tala).

For all the designs, the measure of the pericarp of the central lotus should be three spans. For placing five
kalasas, there should be four petals(for the lotus), facing each main direction. To arrange nine kalasas
(nava kalasa sthapana), four kalasas should be placed additionally in each intermediary direction to
form one avarana(enclosure). Twenty-five kalasas may be placed surrounding the first avarana. O, the
twice-born Sages!, similarly forty-nine kalasas or one hundred and eight kalasa may be arranged.
