At the end, one has to donate cow, copper vessels, silk cloths or other things within his means to the AchArya.īefore performing the ritual, one has to observe vratas for 1 year or 2 months (yathA shakti). One keeps the vrata till the end of adhyayana. With “sumR^idIkA sarasvatI”, one should touch the floor. With “shivAnaH”, one should touch herbs (oShadhI).
With mahAnAmnIs and “ApamApamapaH sarvAH”, one should touch water. Before beginning, one has to utter the shAnti mantras starting with “bhadraM karNebhiH”. This has to be learnt from a guru in araNya (forest). There are vratas to be kept while learning this prashna and while before performing the ritual. The ritual also contains protocols to place a tortoise and gold in the altar. By this the yajamana attains “establishment on heavens”. Finally, water is collected from a water body which does not dry up at all and this is placed on top of the center water pots. The water for the center should be from earthern pots stored in house. The water for the north side should be collected from flowing river. The water for west side should be collected from water bodies like a tank, where the water is static. The water for the south side should be collected from well. The water for the east side of the altar should be collected from the rain when there is sunshine too. Once the piling is complete, yaGYas like pashubandha or as per the saMkalpa is performed. Beneath the pITha, water filled pots are piled using the mantras given in this prashna. On this, a wooden pITha is installed and agni is placed on the pITha. Then lotus stems are placed, follwed by entire lotus plant having its roots intact. In this pit, water is filled for the length of yajamana’s foot to the ankle. The depth of the pit should be equal to the length of yajamana’s foot to the knee. The protocol briefly is as follows:- A pit like ratha chakra (chariot wheel) is dug on a clean place. The water should be appropriately filtered with dashApavitra cloth. Water filled pots are substituted for bricks. This cayana is different, in that, water forms the iShTaka. In other cayanas, the fire altar is piled with iShTakas, that are bricks having specific dimensions and ritually baked. The brAhmaNas describe various phalas for various chayanas. There are other methods, like nAchiketa cayana, sAvitra cayana, chAturhotrya cayana etc. Out of these, aruNa and ketuka were prominent and the ritual was named after them.Ĭayana denotes the method of ritual piling vedic fire altar and aruNa-ketuka being one method. This ritual was supposed to have been first seen and performed by the R^ishis aruNa, ketuka and vAtarachana. (Taittiriya shAkhA, being a kR^ishNa yajurveda has mantras and brAhmaNas intermixed).
