Then, I will explain various ceremonial methods of taking the daily bath as revealed by Lord
Paramesvara. Such bath is capable of warding off all sorts of defilement; it is auspicious and
meritorious; efficacious in yielding a serene state of contentment to the mind; it is of supreme
nature. There are six kinds of ceremonial ablution – watery, fiery, mantric, mentally performable,
airy and the one related to sunshine, rain and dust( varuna, agneya, mantra, manasa, vayavya
and the mahendra).

ध्यायन् प्रभाते विमले दण्डपाणिस्सहायवान्।
गत्वा निकेतनाद्बाह्ये विजनं सजलाशयम्॥ ४
