Now I will explain the process of worshipping the nishkala, sakala and the sakala-nishkala forms in a temple
whose main shrine is facing the west. The Adisaivas who are the householders are fully qualified for
performing the temple worship meant for the benefit of the world. The temple worship meant for the benefit
of the world should be systematically performed for the sustained growth of the Ruler and the country. Such
worship is capable of yielding the worldly enjoyments and the final liberation.

Having got up in the early morning , completed the inevitable morning duties and purified himself, the Guru
should take the ceremonial bath adhering to the concerned directions. In all the three sessions(morning, noon
and evening) he should sip the water with the recital of the mantra which begins with ‘suryasca ma manyusca’
and in the same way he should sprinkle the water upon himself with the recital of ‘dadhigravnno’ and other
mantras. He should offer the water holding his hand in ‘anjali mudra’ three times with the recital of ‘Om
Bhurbhuvassuvah’. Then he should repeat the same mantra ten times.

These should be done in each day without fail in order to attain and stabilize the quality of being a Brahmin.
Activities such as the preparatory consecration(anushthana) laid down in the the Srutis and Smrutis, those
related to the inevitable morning duties, purification, bath, acamana, worship to be done in the three sessions,
tarpana, homa, bali to be offered in the houses and such other activities which are prescribed for the brahmins
may or may not be done. But the essential activities ordained in the Saiva Agamas should be inevitably done
in each day.

Having performed the saiva sandhya, mantra japa, tarpana and others according to the rules prescribed in
the Agama pertaining to his lineage, the Guru should go to the temple, clean his hands and feet and
perform acamana . Then he should enter into the shrine and occupy the seat , being north-faced. Having
taken the pure and white vibhuti, he should apply it on his forehead and other parts in such a way that
the three stripes of vibhuti are closer to each other.

Having done the ‘kara nyasa’(with the recital of samhita mantras), the priest should contemplate the presence
of the resplendent seed letter ‘hum’ in the sushumna channel coursing through the center of the body, breath in
and arrest the air at stomach so as to be without any movement and breath out with the recital of ‘hum phat’.
While breathing out, he should untie the five knots(present between the chakras) and should bring back the air
with the recital of the same mantra. Holding the air to be in ‘kumbhaka’, he should grasp his ‘jiva’(soul)
with the recital of murti mantra(atma murtaye namah) and place it on the head of ‘hum’ letter. Then he should
raise the breath up along with the jiva so as to reach the plane of ‘dvadasnata’ and unite his jiva with Siva
who is present there. This is the process of uniting the jiva with Siva. Having effected such union, he should
perform the purification of his gross and subtle body.

Contemplating the five elements from earth to ether as related to the five kalas from nivritti to santayatita
respectively and contemplating all of them as pervaded by the adhvas, he should purify those elements
with which his body has been constituted. He should incinerate contemplatively those elements by meditating
on the mutual discordance existing between the gross elements and purify them. This kind of purification
associated with respective mandalas(geometrical forms) of the elements is known as ‘bhuta suddhi’. This
purification should be done in such a way that the body is left out to be associated with essential kalas
for which purification is not needed. Then, in order to obtain a luminous divine body fit enough for the worship,
he should besprinkle the nectarine drops trickling down from the thousand-petalled lotus over the ashes of the
incinerated body.

Having meditated on ‘kundalini sakti’ which is in oneness with the nectarine form, he should contemplate that
the body is drenched with the streams of nectar and is charged with the luminous kalas. Having designed
contemplatively a seat within his heart, he should re-install his own self endowed with a divine form. Having
once again sprinkled the nectarine drops over that form, he should do the ‘kara nyasa’.

Having besmeared sandal paste over the palms, he should purify them with the recital of kavaca mantra.
Then he should identify the brahma mantras with the fingers and the netra mantra with the palm. Having
identified the asana, murti and anga mantras with the fingers, he should identify the presence of Siva
with the palm. For the sake of protecting the identified state(with Siva), he should do ‘avakunthana’
(encircling the hands) with the recital of kavaca mantra. Only after having designed his hands to be of the
nature of siva-mantras (which constitute the form of Siva), he should use his hands to do all other
ritualistic activities related to the worship of Lord Siva.

The process of kara nyasa has been told. Then, the process of anga nyasa is now explained. The Guru
should identify the brahma mantras and the anga mantras with his whole body, from the head to feet. Or,
he may identify the mula mantra , brahma mantras and the thirty-eight kala mantras. Having installed
Lord Siva within the heart, he should identify the hrudaya and other anga mantras with the heart and other
limbs of the form. He should identify the netra mantra with the eyes and the kavaca mantra in all
directions around him. The he should display the ‘maha mudra’ to ensure his oneness with Siva and
recite the mula mantra.

Or, he may do the nyasa of brahma mantras alone , without doing the nyasa of thirty-eight kala mantras. Then
he should do the nyasa of 51 letters, each letter associated with corresponding Rudra and Rudra Sakti,
Srikantha Rudra, (Purnodari Sakti) and others. He may do the nyasa of 51 letters without Rudra and Rudra
Sakti.

Having designed his form to be in perfect oneness with the form of Siva, he should perform the internal
worship. Worship, oblations and samadhi(being in absorbed state) should be done in the heart, navel
and the forehead respectively. This is considered to be the purification of the self. Then, the purification
of the place should be performed.

Siddhartha, candana, usira and durva may be taken for the padya. Ela, lavanga, karpura, varala and phala
are recommended for the preparation of acamaniya. These should be utilized for the worship, considering
that these belong to the essential parts of a perfect and complete worship. The substances told earlier for
the preparation of padya and others or those told here mat be taken . The arghya may be prepared with
either five substances – yava, sarshapa, vrihi, tandula and akshata, or it may be prepared with three
substances – vrihi, tandula and akshata. Or, if no such substance is available, the argya may be prepared
with pure water alone.

The vessel should be placed with the recital of hrudaya mantra and the Guru should take the arghya water with
the recital of hrudaya mantra and sprinkle over the collected paraphernalia with the recital of astra mantra.
He should provide protection(avakunthana) with the recital of kavaca mantra and energize each substance
with hrudaya and other mantras and instill the quality of nectar into them by displaying the amruta mudra.
Having applied a tilaka in his forehead with candana, he should place a flower on his own head. This is
the process of the purification of paraphernalia. All the mantras related to Sivapuja should be recited as
beginning with Om and ending with ‘namah’(raising the breath upto forehead or brahmarandhra). Such
recital is known as the purification of the mantras.

Having taken the vessel containing the samanya-arghya, the Guru should worship the Bull installed in front of
the main shrine. On the upper beam of the threshold, he should worship Ganesa and Sarasvati on the left and
right side. Nandi and Ganga should be worshipped on the right side. Mahakala and Yamuna should be
worshipped on the left side of the entrance. On right and left of the doorleaf, Vimala and Subahu should be
worshipped. Having entered the shrine, placing the right foot first, he should worship the Astra Deva
contemplating his presence at the threshold.

Then, having worshipped Vastoshpati(Main Deity of the temple site ,in the south-west), he should
honor the flowers and other items offered to Sivalinga during the previous puja, remove them with the
accompaniment of mantra and mudra and offer them to Candesvara. The well-learned Guru should
sprinkle the arghya water over the pedestal and the rudra-bhaga. Such ritual is known as the purification
of the Linga. In this way, five kinds of purification have been told.
