General definition (in Hinduism)
: ACHC: Smarta Puja骋补苍诲丑辞诲补办补蝉苍腻苍补 (啶椸え啷嵿ぇ啷嬥う啶曕じ啷嵿え啶距え) refers to a 鈥渃eremonial bath with yoghurt鈥� representing one of the five types of 蝉苍腻苍补 or 蝉苍腻苍墨测补, which is one of the various services (耻辫补肠腻谤补) of a 辫奴箩腻 (ritualistic worship of a deity) which aim at the purification of the devotee.鈥擜fter the baths with the five nectars a sixth bath with water is offered to which fresh sandalwood paste has been added. The mantra employed here comes from the famous Sr墨s奴kta (峁歡veda-Khila 5.87.9). As it begins with the word gandha (odor) it came to be used for gandha (sandalwood paste). This mantra occurs in different contexts as the special mantra of the goddess Sr墨, in connection with the adding of cow dung (gomaya) to the mixture of the five cow products, and as the fifth mantra to be used in the performer鈥檚 bath with clay (m峁泃ika-蝉苍腻苍补). Afterwards the icon is bathed with pure (often hot) water while the mantras apo hi 峁ａ弓ha... (峁歡veda 10.9.1-3) belonging to a hymn to the waters are recited. These verses are employed whenever water is sprinkled in rituals, e.g. during the marjana rite of the sandhya.
