· Acchidra Väcana (words to absolve oneself of faults):
Acchidra väcana is then recited by the father:
oà asmin kanyä sampradäna karmaëi
aìga hénaà kriyä hénaà vidhi hénaà ca yad bhavet
astu tat sarvaà acchidraà kåñëa kärçna prasädataù
“Whatever breach of rules, lack of ingredients or ceremony there has been in this bestowal of the bride, let that be overlooked, by the mercy of Kåñëa and his associates.”
oà tat sat
oà adya kåte ‘smin kanyä sampradäna karmaëi
yat kiïcit vaiguëyaà jätam
tad doña praçamänäya
çré viñëu smaraëam ahaà karomi
“To alleviate any fault which may have been committed in the ceremony of bestowing the bride, I now perform remembrance of Viñëu.”
The father should perform Viñëu Smaraëam (see Appendix II) and recite the mahä-mantra, followed by kértana and offering obeisances to the spiritual master, the Vaiñëavas, Lord Caitanya and Gändarvikä-Giridhäri.
KUÇANDIKÄ (Preliminary rites for the yajïa)
The groom should now perform the Kuçandikä rites according to the scriptural rules, either in the same place where the Sampradäna was performed or in the main house. He should install Çré Viñëu’s form as the fire named “Yojaka”
Before building the vedi(yajïa kuëòa) of four hands by four hands (approx. 6ft, by 6ft), he should clean the place of all dirt, hair, husk, charcoal, bones, gravel etc. He should gradually make the North and Eastern sides (of the kuëòa) level and smear it and the floor of the covered Maëòapa with cow dung. He should purify himself according to the scriptural rules, perform äcamana and wear two pieces of cloth. Sitting on a kuça-äsana facing East,
· Abhyukñana Patra Sthäpana (establishing the pot of water):
A copper waterpot should be filled with water, gandha, flowers, tulasé, barley, betel, haritaki, dürva, white rice, tumeric and mustard seeds and placed on the North side of the fire. This will be used for purifying items by sprinkling (abhyukñana).
· Païca Rekhä Sthäpana (drawing five lines in the kuëòa):
He should face east, on the west side of the fire pit (yajïa kuëòa). Placing the right knee on the ground, and placing the left hand on the ground with palm up, while holding a kuça grass blade of one prädeça length (approx. 9in) in it. Taking another kuça grass blade with the right hand, he should draw in the kuëòa a line twelve fingers long (one prädeça, 9 inches) and pointing East (see Appendix I), while meditating on the personality of earth. He should say:
@FOOTNOTE: one prädeça = twelve fingers = nine inches
oà rekhe tvaà påthvi-rüpä pitavarëäsi
“Oh line, you are earth, yellow in color”.
· From the base of the first line he should draw a second line twenty-one fingers long, pointing towards the North while meditating on the cow:
oà rekhe tvaà go-rüpä lohita varëäsi
“Oh line, you are the cow, reddish in color”.
· Parallel to the first line but seven fingers to its left, starting from the second line, he should draw a third line the length of one prädeça in the Eastern direction, while meditating on Kälindi. He should say:
oà rekhe tvaà kälindi-rüpä-kåñëa varëäsi
“Oh line, you are Yamunä, black in color.”
· Parallel to the third line at a distance of seven fingers he should draw a fourth line starting from the second line, in the Eastern direction, one prädeça in length, while meditating on Lakñmé:
oà rekhe tvaà çré-rüpä-svarëa varëäsi
“Oh line, your are Çré, golden in color”.
· At a distance of seven fingers from the last line and parallel to it he should draw a fifth line of one prädeça length in the Eastern direction, meditating on Sarasvaté. He should say:
oà rekhe tvaà sarasvaté-rüpä çukla varëäsi
“Oh line, you are Sarasvaté, white in color”.
· Utkara Nirasana (expelling the impurities):
He should take a pinch of earth from each line with the thumb and ring finger of the right hand and throw out the earth from the kuëòa to a distance of one “aratni“ (distance from elbow to tip of little finger) in the North East direction, saying:
oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù
gäyatré chandaù
çré viñëuù devatä
utkara nirasane viniyogaù
oà nirastaù parävasuù
“The depleter of fortune has been thrown out and destroyed”.
@FOOTNOTE: The viniyogas are not chanted during the yajïa, as stated in the Närada Saàhitä:
homakälas na dåñyate prajächandarñi devatä
“ The chanting of the application (viniyoga), the metre, the åñi, or the devatä is not observed at the time of yajïa”.
END FOOTNOTE

Taking water from the abhyukñana patra he should sprinkle it on the lines.
· Agni Saàskära (purifying the fire):
From the fire which is kindled but not yet placed in the pit he should take one burning stick and cast it in the South Western direction to expel the inauspicious elements of the fire:
@Footnote: Fire can either be started by mantra, churned from the araëi with proper concentration, started from the sunlight by a magnifying glass focused on camphor placed on a bell-metal plate, brought from a lamp in the Deity room or from a brähmaëa's house (meaning from his daily household yajïa). If none of the above methods are practical, then one can use matches etc.
oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù

çré viñëuù devatä
agni-saàskära viniyogaù

With folded hands he should say the names of Viñëu:
@ translations
oà kåñëänanta mukunda mädhava hare govinda vaàsimukha
çré gopéjanavallabha vrajasuhåt bhakta priyedyäcyuta
bhakta premavaça kriya phala rasänandaika dénärti håt
rädhä känta düranta saàsåti haretyäkhyähi jihve sadä
oà tad viñëoù paramaà padaà
sadä paçyanti sürayaù
diviva cakñur ätatam
“Just as those with ordinary vision see the sun’s rays in the sky, so the wise and learned devotees always see the supreme abode of Lord Viñëu.”
oà kåñëo vai saccidänanda ghanaù
kåñëaù ädi puruñaù kåñëaù purusottamaù

kåñëaù käçam kåt ädéça mukha prabhu püjyaù
kåñëo ’nädis tasmin ajändäntar bähye
yan maìgalaà tal labhate kåti
“Lord Kåñëa is the color of a new rain-cloud, therefore He is compared to a transcendental cloud full of eternity, bliss and cognizance. He is the original and Supreme Person. He is the origin of all activities and the one and only Lord of all. He is the worshipful Lord of the best of demigods, the controller of Brahmä, Viñëu and Çiva. Kåñëa is without any beginning. Whatever auspiciousness is found within or beyond this universe the devotee obtains in Kåñëa alone.”
oà agnià düram purodadhe
havyaväham upabruve
devä äçadayäd iha
“The fire from afar I place in front of me. I call near the bearer (the fire) of the oblations. May the Lord show compassion here”.
oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù
triñöup chandaù
çré viñëuù devatä
agni-sthäpane viniyogaù
oà ihaiväyam itaro
jätaveda devebhyo
havyaà vahatu prajänan
“May the remaining fire here, omniscient Jätavedas, carry the oblations to the gods”.
· Brahma Sthäpana (installing and worshipping the brahma):
He may receive a Vaiñëava brähmaëa conversant with the rituals, alternatively he can make a doll of kuça (kuçamaya brähmaëa) and establish it as the brahma.
@footnote: In the case of receiving the kuçamaya brähmana, the hotå (in this case the groom) should recite all the mantras.
He addresses the brahma thus:
“oà sädhu bhavän ästäm”
“May you be comfortable.”
The brahma replies:
“oà sädhu aham äse”
“I am comfortable.”
The groom says:
“oà arcayiñyämo bhavantam”
“I will worship you.”
The brahma replies:
“oà arcaya”
“You may honor me.”
Touching the brahma’s knee with gandha, flowers, tulasé, cloth etc the groom should say:
