of the bulbous root. The oil-cakes got from the varieties of bitter seeds should be offered neglecting the
rules applcable to the rituals meant for malevolent effects. The roots should be offered, each root being cut
into three pieces. The varieties of creepers should be offered, each piece of creeper being 2 angulas in length.
The grains should be offered being mixed with parched paddy. All varieties of cooked food should be
offered as balls, each ball being a mouthful in size. The havishya-food also should be offered in the same
way. Lastly, betel-leaf with areca nut should be offered.

Having circumambulated, prostrated, eulogized with devotion, worshipped the Lord and dedicated the fire-ritual
to Him, the Acarya should do prarocana and offer the arghya meant for the farewell. Then, having pleased

set forth for such contemplation. Having worshipped Lord Siva in a perfect way, he should keep the
presence of Siva along with His anga-murtis to be vibrant, without offering the arghya meant for the farewell.
Once Siva is offered the farewell-arghya and sent off, the ashes of the fire-pit turn into Canda-bhasma; it
turns into one which solely belongs to Candesvara. Or, if the farewell-arghya(paranmukha arghya) is offered
