Joining the index finger and the thumb, the Guru should take the flowers with the recital of astra mantra
and with the recital of the same astra mantra he should remove the flower already placed on the top of the
Linga, simultaneously placing the flower held with the index finger and the thumb, on the top. Then he
should offer eight flowers, three perfumes and seven waters . Invocation, arghya, padya, ceremonial bath,
incense, besmearing of sandal paste and other fragrant substances, naivedya, visarjana (ceremonial
send-off) – in all these eight occasions, the Guru should offer eight flowers. Arghya, besmearing and the
ceremonial bath – in these three occasions, he should offer the sandal and other fragrant substances.
Offering of flowers, arghya, padya, ablution, acamana, kshalana, prokshana – in all these seven occasions,
he should offer the pure water. Under all occasions, incense should be offered. Having known well all
other ritualistic details(through his Guru or from the Agamas), he should perform those rituals.

The curtain, designed in a superior way, should be drawn at the completion of the worship at the
entrance(dvara puja), at the completion of ablution, at the end of nivedana and at the end three twilight
worship(sandhya). Having completed the ablution with various kinds of water, the Guru should perform
the ceremonial bath with the kalasa-vessels installed systematically.
