12. On the day he was to break his first two day fast that Saint-king Shiva stepped down from the heat-mortification arena. He then put on his bark-garments and came to his hut. He took a bamboo basket and a pole to carry it. After worshipping and sprinkling water in the east he uttered "O honoured Soma, the guardian angel of the east, please protect me, Saint-king Shiva, on the spiritual path and permit me to take whatever bulbous roots, roots, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and green vegetables as well as grass are available in the east."

He also collected some grass, some leaves by bending branches, and some fire-wood. He then returned to his hut. He placed the basket and the pole on the ground. Now he made a clean platform and plastered it with cow-dung and other purifying things. After sprinkling water over that spot he took the grass and a pitcher, walked to the Ganges and entered it.

After washing his mouth and getting absolutely pure, he made offerings of water to deities and his ancestors. After this ritual he came out of the Ganges carrying the grass and the pitcher and returned to his hut. Back in the hut, he prepared a sacrificial platform with grass and sand.
