“I make this final offering to Viñëu, who is fame. Whoever makes an offering to Viñëu gives the most select items as offering. I choose the best for Viñëu. May my stay in this world lead to glory.”

· Çänti Däna (sprinkling prokñana water over the fire):

The hotå should go around the fire and release the knot from the kuça grass brahma, then return to his seat. Sitting, he should sprinkle water from the abhyukñana patra on the North East part of the fire, repeating the Çänti Däna mantras three times:

“The Lord is worshippable. He is our helper, constantly expanding. He is our eternal friend. He displays this through His wonderful activites.

You are the worshippable absolute truth and the source of all pleasurable experience. Being strong, You break the opposition of the foes.

You are the protector of those who sing Your praises. You are affectionate to those who accept You as a friend. Be with us a hundred times, to give us protection, O .”

“May there be peace in the heavenly planets, in the ether, on the earth, in the water, in the air, in the light, in the herbs, in all the planetary systems, with the brähmaëas, with the Vaiñëavas. Let there be peace, let there be satisfaction.”

He should give dakñiëä to the Vaiñëavas that have païcarätrika initiation and to the brähmaëas present, according to his ability.

The hotå should chant the acchidra-väcana and vaiguëyasamädaëa (to allay any faults)

To the best of his abilitiy, he should serve all the elevated Vaiñëavas and other living entities with great care.

The devotees should perform Kåñëa-saàkértana as nicely as possible. The groom should pay daëòavatas to all. This is the udicya karma.

This ends the Viväha rites.

Garbhädhänam

(Impregnation):

In the morning, the husband after performing äcamana and his daily sandhyä rites should chant the Puruña Sükta and according to the scriptural rules, worship Lord Näräyaëa and His Vaiñëava pärñadas. That same evening at an auspicious time, he should mix cow-urine, mud and water and smear it on the ground. He should face a Deity of the Lord or Çré Çälägräma and after reciting the Viñëu Smaraëam and Svasti Väcanam, he should offer an arghya1 to the Çälagräma or the Deity of the house in a conch or earthen vessel five times with the following mantras.
