The fiery bath should be done only with the bhasma made from the cow-dung obtained from
those cows which are free from the defects related to the class(jati) and other distinct factors and
which are free from the afflictions such as diseases and others. O, the foremost Sages!, only
the fiery-bath done with such supreme kind of bhasma has been commended highly in the
Scriptures. Any one variety of the bhasma among these four kinds should be prepared , collected
and stored in kalasas and other such vessels. The sadhaka should take the bath with bhasma
in all the three periods – morning, noon and evening. Or , in any one of these periods as convenient
and necessary to him. Having meditated on Brahmi before the twlight-worship, the sadhaka of
Adisaiva lineage should design his form to be in the likeness of Siva by means of nyasa and
proceed to perform the sandhya worship. Then he should perform the specific worship known
as Saiva-sandhya.

Having completed the watery-bath first, the sadhaka should do the fiery-bath, in the morning time.
During the other sandhya-periods, he may take fiery-bath alone or both varuna snana and agneya
snana. These directions are applicable to those who are capble of taking such kinds of bath. Those
who are not able to take both kinds of snana, may take the bath as desired by them.
