4. ॐ घांटादे ळताभ्यो नमः
5. ॐ ऴांखदे ळताभ्यो नमः
6. If using two kalasha, then Shuddhodaka in one and Gandodaka in another. If using only one kalasha then it is
perhaps due to shortage of time. And hence Shuddhodaka by default.
Touch the kaslasha(s) and do avahana of rupas of Vishnu into it from Surya-antargata Narayana.
ॐ शळवकऱऴदे ळताभ्यो नमः
7. ॐ शळवऩीठदे ळताभ्यो नमः (Imagine the entire brahmanda to be present in the peeta on which God’s idol is going
to be placed. Imagine Vishnu Kurma, Vayu Kurma, Shesha and earth – one on top of another. Think of various
devatas supporting the peeta below and on it. In essence think of the peeta as replica of the entire universe in
which God resides)
