Mahatma Pushkar addressed Parashurama that every human being should get up early morning at ‘Brahma muhurtha’ and pray to Vishnu/Shiva/Shakti and after morning abutions perform the six types of ‘Snaanaas’viz. ‘Nitya’, ‘Naimittika’, ‘Kaamya’, ‘Kriyaanga’, ‘Malakarshana’ and ‘Kriya’. Water from ground-wells is pure enough, water-stream is better, Sarovar water is much better, River water is further better, water from Tirthas is far better and Ganga water is the best of all. The person concerned would bathe in the water for a while cleaning the body and commence reciting the three Ruchas viz.

Hiranya varnaa shuchah paavakaayaa sujatah Kashyapoyaasvidrah etc,

Sham no Devirabheeeshtayey etc and Aapohishtha mayo bhuvah etc.

Then the Mantra: Ida maapam etc. to be followed by Drupadaadivamunchatu etc. ‘Purusha Suktam’ saying Sahasra Sirshah Purushah etc. may be recited and Gayatri Mantra be repeated as many times as possible. After the bath and wearing clean ‘Vastra yugma’ (two clothings), perform Sandhya Vandana, Pitru Tarpana, Agnihotra homa and complete surrender to Maha Deva. Pushkar reiterated certain obvious dos and don’ts to Parashurama for the awareness of posterity: Never look straight to Surya Deva at the Sunrise and Sunset timings. Never see one’s own reflection in water. Never look intently at a naked woman, or into a well or at a place of murder or the face of a murderer. Never enter the interior room of others nor their treasure room. Never be a messenger to anybody. Never enter a shaky boat, tree or elevation. Keep sustained interest in one’s own household, money matters and Shastras. Do not create sounds from one’s own body parts except by way of hand-claps. Never travel or move about without light.
