मन्त्रश्च- तद्भगवन्त्वां गुणश्च आत्मनश्चापि गृह्ण वारिणः सर्वदेवतानां मुखमेव प्रक्षालयेत् ।। एतेन मन्त्रेण सुगन्धधूपदीपनैवेद्यं पुनरेवं समर्पयेत् मंत्रा ऊचुः ।। स्नेहं स्नेहेन संगृह्य लोकनाथ मया हृतम् ।। सर्वलोकेषु सिद्धात्मा ददाम्यात्मकरेण च करेण तस्य चूर्णेन पिष्टचूर्णेन वा पुनः ।। एतदुद्वर्त्तनं कुर्यान्मम गात्रसुखावहम् कर्मण्यान्यपि माल्यानि ततो मह्यं प्रदापयेत् ।। तदेव चार्च्चनं कृत्वा कर्मण्यः कर्मसम्मितः वस्त्रैर्विभूषणं कृत्वा मम गात्रानुसारि यत् ।। पश्चात्पुष्पं गृहीत्वा तु आसनं चोपकल्पयेत्

And the mantra: "Therefore, O Blessed One, accept from the water both your quality and (that) of the self" — he should wash just the face of all the deities. With this mantra he should again likewise present fragrance, incense, lamp and food-offering. The mantras said: "Having taken up oil with oil, O Lord of the world, it has been brought by me; O you whose self is perfected in all the worlds, I give (it) with my own hand." And then again with his hand, with powder of it or with ground flour, he should perform this rubbing-down (of the image), which brings ease to my limbs. Then he should have other flower-garlands too, fit for the rite, presented to me. Having done that very worship, the performer of the rite, being suited to the rite, and having made adornment with garments — whatever conforms to my limbs — afterwards, taking a flower, he should also prepare a seat.
