The Earth said: "What you tell me, lord, is the transgression of proper conduct; having touched (water), you should tell me the secret of right practice. There, standing in Brahman, he should touch the head three times; and again three times there both the ears and nostrils. Brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, and those who abide in my doctrine — having performed the expiation by this rule, O illustrious one — my mind has become agitated, it does not become steady anywhere, for this that has been spoken by you is hard for devotees to attain. Then Viṣṇu, the casket of illusion, says to me, O brahman: 'Devotees have grown angry, O brahman' — (that) by which they are purified of sin: worship of me according to the prescription, if one desires the highest goal. Those who, O goddess, will sacrifice to me, having abandoned anger, with senses subdued, should also perform the rules of the hero's posture seven and seven times; the fourth (portion) is food, with ghee and rice-milk for one month."
