· Läja Homa and Açmäkrämaëa (oblations of popped rice and mounting the stone):

The bride and groom should stand.

The groom, passing behind the bride, should go to the South side (her right side) and face North.

He should hold both her hands in his right hand.

The mother of the bride, her brother or a brähmaëa should place the grinding stone and pestle in front of the bride and place her right foot on the stone.

The groom should say:

“Mount this stone and like a stone be steadfast in devotion at the feet of the Lord. Annihilate those who would harm you. May you never fall under their influence.”

The groom should place two sruvas of ghee in the brides cupped hands and the mother of the bride should place one fifth of the läja over the ghee.

The groom should pour two sruvas of ghee over the läjä.

The bride, without separating her hand, should pour the läjä into the fire.

The groom should say:

“This woman speaks, while offering läjä to the fire: May my husband be long lived, may he live a hundred years. May our devotion to the Lord flourish.”

The pair should circumambulate the fire, with the wife in front.

The groom should say:

oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù

“The bride is going from her parent’s house, to the house of the groom,

having done her duties well before her betrothal.Oh bride, help us to remove the enemies, as a flood of water cleans the earth.”

Returning to the stone again, the groom, facing North, should take the bride’s hand in his right hand.

The mother should place the bride’s right foot on the stone, and stand with the basket of läja.

The groom will say:

oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù

açmäkrämaëe viniyogaù

oà imaà açmänaà ärohäçmeva tvaà sthirä bhava

“Mount this stone and like a stone be steadfast in devotion at the feet of the Lord. Annihilate those who would harm you. May you never fall under their influence.”

The bride should receive läja and ghee in her hands and offer into the fire.

The groom will say:

svähä - idam viñëave idam na mama

“The girl has made sacrifice to Viñëu, to Hari. May Viñëu, the Supreme Lord, release her and me.”

Again the groom with the bride will circumambulate the fire, saying:

oà prajäpatiù viñëu åñiù

triñöup chandaù

çré viñëuù devatä

läja home viniyogaù

oà kanyalä pitåbhyaù patilokaà yatéyamapa dékñäàañañöa

“The bride is going from her parent’s house, to the house of the groom,

having done her duties well before her betrothal.Oh bride, help us to remove the enemies, as a flood of water cleans the earth.”

The mother will again put the bride’s right foot on the stone:

“Mount this stone and like a stone be steadfast in devotion at the feet of the Lord. Annihilate those who would harm you. May you never fall under their influence.”

“The girl has made sacrifice to Viñëu, to Hari. May Viñëu, the Supreme Lord, release her and me.”

“The bride is going from her parent’s house, to the house of the groom,

having done her duties well before her betrothal.Oh bride, help us to remove the enemies, as a flood of water cleans the earth.”

The groom should then pour two sruvas of ghee on the edge of the winnowing basket, place the remaining läjä there and add two more sruvas of ghee and offer the contents of the basket into the fire, saying:

oà sviñöi kåte çré acyutäya svähä.

“This is an offering unto Acyuta, who makes everything auspicious.”
