Chapter 1 · The Opening Rite
पूजनविधिः
रुद्र त्वं दैन्यनाशाय सदा भस्माङ्गधारकः ॥नागहारोपवीती च पूजां गृह्णीष्व ते नमः ॥ १२ ॥
O Rudra (a fierce form of Shiva), you remove misery. You always wear ash on your body. You wear a snake as necklace and sacred thread. Accept this worship. Salutation to you.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्वर्गे सुराश्च गन्धर्वाः पाताले पन्नगादयः ॥
In heaven the gods and gandharvas (heavenly singers) do so. In the underworld the serpents and others do so. In the world of mortals the humans do…
महायज्ञादिकं चैव अग्निहोत्रादि कर्म च ॥
The great sacrifices, the daily fire rites, bathing at holy places, and meditation all depend on the sunrise.
ब्रह्मा विष्णुः शिवः शक्तिर्देवदेवो मुनीश्वराः ॥
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti, the god of gods, and the lords of the sages meditate on the Sun god. He is the witness in the three worlds.
