यः सद् बाह्यमनित्यं च क्षेत्रेषु न धनं वपेत् । कथं वराकश्चारित्रं दुश्चरं स समाचरेत् ॥१२०॥
Meaning : He, who has wealth and still does not spend, knowing all along that it is not permanent and also a mundane thing, will never be able to observe a monk's conduct that is difficult to observe.
ब्राह्म मुहर्त उत्तिष्ठेत् परमेष्ठिस्तुति पठन् । कि धर्मा किं कुलश्चास्मि कि ब्रतोऽस्मीति च स्मरन् ॥१२१॥ शुचिः पुष्पाऽऽमिषस्तोत्रैर्देवमभ्ययं वेश्मनि । प्रत्याख्यानं यथाशक्ति कृत्वा देवगृहं व्रजेत् ॥१२२॥ प्रविश्य विधिना तत्र त्रिः प्रदक्षिणयेज्जिनम् । पष्पादिभिस्तमभ्यच्य स्तवनरुत्तमैः स्तुयात् ।।१२३॥
Meaning : When two ghatikas (forty eight minutes) remain to the end of the night. one should awaken. He should than offer mental obeissance to Pancha Paramesthi (five revered) and ponder over : "What is my duty ? To which family do I belong ? What vratas (vow) have I accepted ?” etc. etc.
He should, thereafter, get out of the bed, take flowers, incense, and offering and go straight to the small temple built in the house, offer panejyrics to the Lord and do other prayers. Having done so he should go to the general temple.
Properly entering temple one should go around the idol three times and worship it with flowers etc. and prayers.
