Set it in a good copper vessel. Then, O Goddess, he should worship the image with this mantra (sacred words). He uses sandal paste, flowers, rice…
ॐ नमस्ते देवदेवेश शङ्खचक्रगदाधर ॥
Om. Salutation to you, God of gods, holder of the conch, discus and mace. Through ignorance or carelessness I did wrong in the past.
तत्सर्वं क्षम्यतां देव शरणागतवत्सल ॥
Forgive all that, O God who loves those who take refuge. Om, salutation to the discus-holder. Om, salutation to Govinda. Om, salutation to Damodara…
