CHAPTER XI ON TWELVE SORTS OF SUDDHIS (PURIFICATIONS)
Sri Siva said :—Now I am speaking on the twelve sorts of purifications of the Vaisnavas (devotees of Visnu going to the temple of Visnu, following SriHari. (1)
Circumambulating Him with devotion, purifying one’s feet again, plucking flowers and leaves with devotion for the worship of Sri Hari. (2)
Purification” particularly of the two hands, singing His name and reciting His qualities. (3)
Purifying one’s words to Sri Hari with devotion, hearing His kathas (i.e. saying of His deeds. etc.), attending on His Utsava ceremonies, these ought to be the desires of the devotees. (4)
Purification of ears and eyes, taking the water and nirmalya with which His feet are washed, wearing the garlands already used by Him. (5)
Nirmalya—the remains of an offering (such as flowers) m to a deity.
Purify your head by making pranams (b the ground) ; purify your nose by taking the scents and nirmalyas. (6)
Perceive the smell of leaves and flowers © feet of Srikrsna, the Highest Spirit. @”)
That is the most purifying in this world ; suddhis (purifications) are brought about. Therefore, purpose, make the mark of gada (elub) on the four-head ; and on the head make the marks of bows and arrows also. {8)
On the chest (heart-lotus) wear the mark of Nandaka (the sword of Krsna) ; bear, on the two arms, the signs of conchshell and discus (Sankha and Cakra). For if any Brahmana dies in the burning ground with conchshell and discus marks, he attains the same goal that is obtained by dying at the holy place Prayaga

(Allahabad). Do’nt goto the Temple of the Bhagavan (Lord) with carriages or shoes a slippers on. (9-10)
Do not drink wine in the festivities of the Deva, do not stand erect without making pranams ; do not sing praises of Sri Hari (i.e. do not make stuti vandanam) with impure clothings, (i.e. wear fresh dried and purified cloths). (11)
Do not make pranams of one hand (cubit) measure, (i.e. by raising your hands to the head and bending the head a little) or turn round in front of Him or show or extend your legs before Him. Do not have a cloth girt round the back, loins and knees, while standing before Him. (12)
Do not lie down or sleep before Him, do not eat, or speak falsehood or speak loudly, or make enmity with each other ; do not weep or fight. (13)
Do not chastise or show favour, do not speak rudely to women, do not screen with a blanket : do not abuse or calumniate others ; or do not flatter others before the Deity. (14)
Do not use bad offensive language ; do not Pass winds ; do not offer little things, when you can offer much: do not eat articles that are not offered to Him. (15)
Do not cease offering Him fruits of the season, do not offer Him cooked vegetables that are remaining after having been used for other purposes. (16)
Do not mark out prominently your own Place (asana) or position ; do not abuse others, do not praise others 3 do not remain silent concerning your Guru or spiritual teacher; do not praise yourself ; do not vilify the Devatis 3 these are the thirty-two (32)
points on which one is liable to be considered at fault before the Deva. (17)
If, before sipping the caranarart (water after washing the
feet of the Deity), one applies it to one’s head, one become guilty of Brahmahatya murder of a Brahmana), (18)
If one drinks Visnu’s padodaka (water obtained after washing
Whe Fourth Night, Ch. XT 273
Visnu’sfeet), the sins of Koti births are destroyed, and if the padodoka be dropped on the ground, eight times sins will be accrued. (19)
Now about the Dharana mantra (for putting the padodaka on the head). I hereby put the holy padodaka of Sri Visnu on my head as preventing untimely death and destroying all
diseases. (20)
The Tulasi leaves offerd at His feet and partaking of the naivedyam destroy the sins caused by murder, stealing away caranamrta and drinking much and violating the bad of tke preceptor’s wife.
To be meek and lowly before §ri Krsna, to keep company
of the Visnavas absolve one from sins of bad companies. Also in the future life one gets one’s desires fulfilled by worshipping
Saligrama. (21)
This is the Vasisthas’ saying :—any man, who, in this Kali age, dances and sings before Kesava, gets, at every step, the fruits of performing Horse Sacrifice (for ever). (22)
Whoever does not dance or sing in the festivity night (H Vasara) of Sri Hari, he gets the result— being burned in fire or going down to the deep hell. (23)
While making japam of Sri Visnu’s ™ one ought to make gifts as consecratin singing his glories and for his grace and favour.
