SANATANA DHARMA PART 51 KRAJARAM IRS 14624 15624
Yajurvedis: On obtaining the approval of the King, Relatives and Seniors
among the invitees, the proceedings of the Dattata Ceremony of Yajurvedis
would follow the procedure of the Rigvedis mentioned as above except the
Putra Daata makes the Sankalpa for Acharya Puja, Brahmana Bhojana and
Acharya’s preparation for Deva Yajana by drawing the lines of the Yagna
Sthala. Then the Putra Patigrahita requests the Daata saying Putram mey
dehi/ Then Daata makes the Sankalpa again and continues the Shubha Kaarya
upto Putra Daana as in the case of Rigvedis. Then the Pratigrahita receives
the child stating: Dharmaayatwaata grihnaami santathayaitwaa grihnaami/ He
decorated the child with Vastra-Kundala-Anguleekaas. The Purvaanga Homa
continues by the Acharya and recites Yatwaahridaakeerina and yasmaitwam
sukrutey and the Aajya Homa continues with Vyasta samasta vyaahriti homa
and swishta kritaadi karmaas. At the end the Acharya announces the details
of the Daata and Pratigraheeta along with their Gotras.
For the Dutta Putra’s Vivaha, all the previous Gotra / Pravara
Smaranaas should be scrupulously avoided as the Karmaas like Saapidya,
Saapta Pourusha and Paancha pourusha niyamaas do not seem to be applicable.
In case the Dutta Putra’s Upanayana was already performed with the Janaka
Gotra, then in the Janaka Pitru Maatru cases the tradition of Saapindya,
Saapta Pourusha and Paancha Pourushaas are relevant. In case the Upanayana
only of the Griheeta’s gotra then there should be Pancha Purusha’s of the
Griheeta Kula and Thee Purushaas of the Maatru Kula. But if the Dutta
Putra’s Jaata karmaadupanayanaas are all performed by the Griheeta, then
Sapta Pourushaas in the Paternal side and five purushas on the Maternal
side are effected accordingly.
* Putra Kaameshti Yagna: This* is a highly Mantra-oriented Vrata
with intensity of Agni-Homaas aiming at the birth of a son even if a
couple has daughters only. On the sixth day after the menses of his wife,
the Karta as ‘Sa Bharya’ settles after Abhyangana and Pranayaamas and
intiates Sankalpa of Putra Kaamah Putra Kaameshthim karishye followed by
Swasti Vaachanaas, Naandi Shraaddha and Agni Pratishtha initiated with the
Mantra : Chakshuhi Aajyenaatra pradhaanam, Agnim Pancha Vaaram Varunam
Pancha Vaaram Vishnum Prithivim Vishnum Somam Suryaa Saaitreem paayasena
sheshena swishta kritam/ ie. by the Aajyaas or offerings of ‘Payasa’ to
the Main Agni five times, to Varuna five times and to Vishnu Prithivi,
Vishnu Soma, Surya and Savitri and perform Swishta kruta and so on. During
the ‘nirvapapana’ or the interval/ inactive time, silently cook ‘charu’
(ghee, milk of white cow with white calf and grains) and place sixty
fistfulls of Rupaas at the Yaajya bhaaga and make Pancha dashaahutis
(fifteen oblations) to Agni with the following Mantras:
Om Aatey Garbho yonimaitu punaanbaana ivaishudhim, Aaveero
jaayataam putrastey dashamaasyah swaahaa/ Agnaya idam namah/

(Thus, Fifteen Homaas are required to be done with the above detailed
Mula Mantraas viz:
Aatey garbho-- Karomi tey-Pumaastey Putro-Yaani bhadraani- Kaamah
samudbhavataam-Agniretu-Imaamagnisrtaayataam-Maa tey
gruhye-Aprajastaam-Deva kutam Braahmanam-Nejamesha-Yatheyam Prithivi-
Vishno sreshthena-Somam dhenu-Taam Pushan- Taam Pushacchiva). After the
Aahutis, Swishtakruta homa etc. are performed and the Bharta should touch
the Patni’s ‘naabhi’ and complete the Putra Kameshti with Go daana and
Bhojana Dakshinaas to Brahmanas as they sleep in the night on darbha mats
on the ground.

* 2 Pumsavanam: Pumsavana* function is performed once the
conception is confirmed. This is observed in the second or the third or
fourth or the sixth month or atleast on the eighth month along with
Seemanta function. This is celebrated on any day from Shukla Panchami to
Krishna Panchami excepting on Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi and Purnima.
It is best done on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday; some opine that
Soma-Budha-Shukra Vaaraas are very good. As regards Nakshatraas, it is
stated that the Purusha Naamakaas are appropriate and these are
Pushya,Shravana, Punarvasu, Hasta, Mrighaabhijit, Mula, Anuraadha and
Ashvani. Pushyami is stated to be the best , failing which Shravana or at
least Hastaadis. This is the Anavalobhana time or purification ceremony
normally done in the third month of pregnancy; this is a Garbha Samskaara
performed with Pumsavana and it is stted to be essential in the Prathama
Garbha. If this Samskaara is not done, there would be a Praayaschitta of
Paadakruccha. This Samskaara is executed by the husband or his brother.
* 3 Seenanta : This ceremony* may be done in fourth or eighth
month; some opine that this is also done in sixth or fifth month of
conception. The Vachana is: Navameymaasivaakuryaadyaavadgarbha vimochanam,
Streeyadyakruta seemantaa prasuyeta kadaachana/ Gruheeta putraa
vidhivatsaatam Samskaaramarhati/ Thus Pumsavana can be performed in the
ninth month also . Even if Seemanta is not done before the delivery of the
child, then too this can be done along with the child’s other
‘Samskaaraas’. The Paksha-Tithi-Vaara-Nakshatras applicable to Pumsavana
hold good for the Seemanta ceremony also. Some Grandhas mention that upto
the Krishna Paksha Dashami the Ceremony is in order on any day; that
Shashti, Ashtami, and Dwadashi are Rikta or ineffective Tithis and Purnima
is avoidable. However, as exceptions the following might be considered if
need be: Chaturthi, Chaturdashi and Purnima or Shashthi-Ashtami-Dwadashi by
discarding eight,four and ten Ghadiyas respectively ; and Revati, Rohini,
Uttara, Uttaraabhaadra, Uttaraashaadha by discarding the first and the
third ‘Paada’or Phase thus during the middle paada. Seemantonnayana needs
to be done only once to a woman irrespective of the number of her
pregnancies This function has to be executed by the husband himself. If
there were any shortcoming in the Garbhaadhaana Ceremony then the
Prayaschitta would be to perform Go daana to a Brahmana. The Sankalpa to
observe this function is:
Mamaasyaam Bharyaamutpasyamaana garbhasya gaarbhika baijika dosha
parihaarapumrupataa siddhi jnaanodaya pratirodha parihaara dwaaraa Shri
Parameshwara preetyartham pumsavanamana lobhanam mamasyaa bhaaryaayam
garbhaabhi vriddhi prati bandhi piscita rudhira Priyaa Lakshmi Bhuta
Raakshasi gana doora nirasana kshema sakaa soubhaagyadaana Maha Lakshmi
Samaavesana dwaaraa prati garbhasamudbhavaino nibarhana dwaaraacha Shri
Parameshwara preetyartham Stree samskaara rupam Seemantonnayanaakhyam
karmacha tantrena karishye/ If Pumsavana and Sematha are to be done
together, Agi Kaaryas are to be executed. Praayaschitta for not performing
any of the Samskaaras is to provide Brahmana Bhojanaas for ten or atleast
three .
*Garbhini Dharmaas: Garbhini* Strees should not mount elephants,
horses or carts nor climb mountains, high rise buildings or heights in
general. They should not as a principle over exert or tire out, much less
run or even walk too briskly. They should avoid unclean objects, places and
surroundings nor resort to use kitchen implements of sharpness, heat and
weight. They should not enter deep in water- flows for bathing, stand or
stay for long in lonely and open places and under trees. The Garbhinis
should not eat food on the Sandhya timings nor consume too cold or hot
foods or too pungent, sour, stored, unimely, hard and heavy food.They
should not mate, resist sleep in the after noon with creative jobs, desist
from talking excessively , nor spend lonely times in the evenings and
nights, but sleep early in the night.Do not spread out head hair loose,
shout and laugh loud, maintain physical cleanliness and keep fresh with
fragrances and flowers. Regular worship, performance of Daanaas and
peaceful activities and enjoying good company with friends, and relatives
are a part of the psychological tone-up. Travel in the fourth, sixth and
eighth months of pregnancy must be forbidden and certainly not in the sixth
month. Garbhini Pati Dharmas: During the period of pregnancy, the husband
of the Garbhini too has certain duties. His major responsibility of course
to to please her by fulfilling her small and big desires tat that would
indeed result in the birth of a healthy boy with long and happy life.
Besides he has to observe a few but significant tasks: he should not have
Samudra Snaana, not resort to cut trees, to shave his head or face, not to
travel by Seas or other wise, not even undertake Tirtha Yatras, not to
carry dead bodies , not to take up new activities of house construction,
not to cut nails; not to take up weddings, Upanayanas and such other
Karyas, and not to offer Pinda Daanaas, attend Preta Karmas and so on if
possible.However, some opine that performing the Pratyabdika Ceremonies of
one’s own parents need not be disturbed although Dasrsha-Mahalaya Karmas
may not be performed. Garbha Sraava prayaschitta: In the unfortunate event
of Garbha Sraava, the woman concerned has to perform on a Shubha Dina a
Kanchana Yagnopaveeta daana to a Brahmana with the Sankalpa: Mama garbha
sraava nidaana sakala dosha parihaara dwaaraa Shri Parameshwara
preetyartham Vaayu Puraanoktam Suvarna Yagnopaveeta daana vidhim karishye!
This daana is to be done by the Garbhini herself in lieu of Bala Hatya
Prayaschitta. Sukha Prasavopaaya: The relevant procedure for quick and safe
delivery of a child is to remove any obstacles by reciting the Ruks in
Rukvidhaana viz. Pramandiney and also the Sukta named Viji hyeeshye and
give the Mantra Jala to the Garbhini to drink along with the Mantra:
Himavatyuttare paarsvey Suradhaamaana Yakshini, Tasmaat smarana
maatrena vishalyaa garbhini bhaveyt/ Om Ksheem Om Swaahaa/ Along with this
Mantra the Garbhini is to be administered Tila Thaila or the oil of Sesame
seeds added by Durvaankura grass by hundred or possibly thousand sips as
also smear the oil on her Garbha. Also: Vamshanimbayostwak Tulasi mulam
kapittha patram karaveera beejam cha sama bhaagam Mahishi dugdhena
peshayitwaa tena satailena yoni lepey sadyah prasavah/ ( A mix of buffalo
milk with lemon skin , Tulasi leaf root, Neem-Kapitha-Karaveera seed-all in
equal proportion be administered to the Garbhini for fast and secure
delivery).
* 4 Jaata karma: The father of the newly arrived* Putra / Putri
may sight the face by avoiding Moola, Jyeshta and such othe Vyatipaataas
and greet the Elders of the family and take an auspicious bath in normal
water of room temperature wearing Suvarna preferably in the early night.
If the Dushta Nakshatraas like Moola , Jyeshtha etc. occur at that time,
then the Snaana be performed without sighting the face of the child. In
case the husband is away then the first information of the delivery should
be followed by the Snaana for Shuddhi without touching the objects in the
surroundings. As the Snaana is over and by that time the Naabhi Sutra is
cut, the mother is about to breast-feed the new born being seated on her
thigh, then the father would make the Sankalpa: Asya Kumaarasya garbhaamu
paana janitha dosha nibharhanaayur medhaa vridhi beeja garbha samudbhavaino
nibarhana dwaaraa Shri Parameshwara preetyartham Jaata karma karishye
tadaadoucha Swasti Punyaah vaachanam Maatrukaa pujanamcha karishye/
Hiranyena Putra janma nimitthakam Jaata karmaagancha Naandhi Shraadham
tantrena karishye/ After this Sankalpa, the proceedings of the Jata Karma
would be as per their own Kulaachaara, daanas be tendered to Brahmanas and
puja be preformed to the Kula Jyotisha to ascertain the Janma
Lagna,Shubhaashubha Graha Nirnaya and the procedure of Dhushta Graha
Shaanti Vivarana and Nivaarana. The necessary arrangements for Graha
Shaanti be decided by way of Graha- Mantra-Japa-homa daanaas. Then the
Naabhi is cut, dripped in water with gold and let the mother continue the
breast feed of the ‘Putra’; incidentally the word Putra includes Putri also
as clarified in relevant Mantra. Subsequently the Karta would make the
Sankalpa: Jaata karmaanga homam karishye! Then Loukikaagni is installed and
homaas are offered in ghee addressing Agni, Indra, Prajapati, Vishwa
Devataas and Brahma. The rest of the Karya krama is performed as per one’s
own house hold traditions. Atra sarvatra jaata karmar naamakarmaadou mukhya
kaalaatikramey Gurvadyasta rahitey Shubha Nakshatraadou Jaatakramaadikam
kaaryam/ (In the event of not being able to perform at the correct timing
as described above, then Jaata Karmaa and other Namakaranaadi Karyaas be
done when Guru and other Shubha Grahas are predominant). The Jata Karma
Nakshatraas are: Rohini, Uttara, Uttaraashaadha, Uttaraabhadra, Ashwini,
Hasta, Pushya, Anuraadha, Revati, Mriashira, Chitta, Shravana, Dhanisdhtha,
Shatabhishak, Swaati and Punarvasu; these Nakshatraas are Rikta Tithis.
Excepting Pravatithis the other Tithis. Excepting Tuesday and Saturdays all
other days are without bhatdraa- vaidhrutyaadis and of Sukendra Lagnaas
and hence are propitious.
Shashthi Devataa Puja: Janma Devata Puja is to be performed on
the fifth or the sixth day’s night in the first Prahara when the father and
mother of the new born are bathed and seated to make a Sankalpa to this
effect: ‘ With a view to ensure and enhance the health and longevity of the
child, as also demolish all kinds of Arishtas against him/her, I invoke
Ganesha Deva first and having pleased him with my puja then approach
Bhagavati Shashthi Devi whose other names are Jeevanti and Shastra Garbha
Bhagavati’. Thus Ganesha and Janmadaa Devi Pratimaas be installed on a
Raashi of Rice and worshipped with
Shodashopachaaraas reciting Lambodara Mahaa Bhaaga Sarvopadravanaashana,
Twadprasadaada Vighnena Chiranjeevatu Baalakah/ Naraayani swarupena Baalam
me Raksha Sarvadaa, Preta Bhuta Pishaachaabhyo Daakini Yogineeshucha/
Maateeva Raksha baalam mey swaapadey pannageshucha, Gouri Putro Yadhaa
Skandah Shishutvey rakshitah puraa /Tathaa mamaapyam Balasshashtikey
rakshyataam mamah/ (Deva Vighnesha, Maha Pujya! You destroy all the
obstacles; Kindly bless the child to live for long! Devi Shashthi
Devi!Younare the Supreme Mother of the Universe, especially this child who
should be secured from Bhuta-Preta- Pisachaasand Vyaghra Sarpaadi cruel and
poisonous Beings; do save him as you would do to Kumara Swami himself!)
After the Prayers, Brahmana- Bhojana-Dakshina-Daanaas would follow with
Ratri Jaagarana and on the next day with Bali Daana and Anna Daanaas.
* Ashoucha Kartavyaas : In respect of ‘Jaataashoucha’* and
‘Mritaashoucha’ one should perform ‘Praanaayaama’ without Mantras. Maarjana
Mantras should not be recited but perform Marjana physically and mentally.
When Arghya is given to Surya Deva, then Gayatri Mantra may be recited;
there need not be the recital of Upasthaana Mantra but Surya Dhyana may be
done. There should not be Gayatri Japa. But some opine that the recital
might be done mentally. In any case Vaishva Deva, Brahma Yagna and other
components of Pancha Maha Yagna should not be performed. Vedadhyayana is
prohibited. Aouposana-Homa-Pinda Pitru Yagna be performed by a Brahmana
who is other than of the same Gotra. In case ‘Anvaadhana’or placing
‘Aajya’or fuel on the sacred fire has been done and Ashoucha occurs, then
one should request a Brahmana to continue ‘Ishti’ and ‘Sthaalipapaaka’
Karmas and after taking Snaana discontinue the rest of the tasks viz. the
homas etc. Pratyabdika Shraddha may be postponed to the eleventh day of
Shuddhi or on the susequent Darsha / Amavasya or on any Vyatipaataadi
‘Parva dina’. Incidentally, even of one’s wife is during the period of
menses, the husband is required to perform Pinda Pitru Yagna or Darsha
Shraadda. If the Karta realises that his wife has shown signs of menses
after ‘Anvaadhana’then he need not dicsontinue ‘Ishti’ and ‘Sthaalipaaka’as
exceptions but ‘Daana-Pratigrahanaas’ and Veda- dhyanas should be avoided.
Pinda Pitru Yagna, Sthaalipaaka, Shravana Karmaas should not be proxied to
Brahmanas during ‘Jaataashoucha-Mrita Shouchaas’ although those Karyas
already initiated and in progress might be entusted to Brahmanaas.
Aagrayana should also not be entrusted to Brahmanas during Ashoucha
period; nor ‘Agnyaropana’ and ‘Pratyavaropana’. If ‘Grihaagni’ is put off
during the Ashoucha, there could be ‘Punarutpatti’ by a Shrotriya. If
Ashoucha is conveyed during one’s meal, then the morsel of what is being
eaten should be discarded and bathing is performed forthwith. Eating that
small amount too would attract the prayaschitta of Upavasa. If the entire
meal is consumed then three Upavaasas are warranted! However, if Grahana
occurs during the Ashoucha that Ashoucha is not applicable to Grahana kaala
in view of the clarification : Sutakey Mritakey chaiva na dosho Rahu
Darshaney/ and thus the person concerned should go ahead with
Snaana-Shraadha- Daana- Japaas; similarly Sankraanti Snaanaadi Karmas could
be performed.
Shutaka Shuddhi: The woman who delivered a child is free from
Ashoucha after ten days and would be eligible for Shuddhi and Sparsha
besides authorisation for performing Jaata Karma-Naama Karana and such
other Shubha Karyaas; she would also be eligile for performing Jateshti,
Vivaha, Upanayana and such other Shubha Karyaas after twenty days in the
case of delivering a male child and thirty days in respect of a girl
child.------------------------------------------------------------------
*5 Nama karana: On the eleventh* or twelfth day of the child’s birth,
Namakarana is required to be performed. Some say that although ‘Ashoucha’
continues up to the tenth day of the birth, Nama Karana might as well be
performed on that day itself. However, in the ‘Mukhya Kaala’on the birthday
of the child, it is stated that there is no deed for specially ascertaining
the Punya Tithi Nakshatraas for the Nama karana if done on the ‘Mukhya
Kaala’ or the day of the birth although the Gouna Kala or the time of birth
would need be examined from the angle of Yoga since one should avoid the
Vaidhruti-Vyateepaata Sankranti Grahanas, Amavasya etc. If not possible to
perform the Namakarana in the Mukhya kaala, then the Propitious timings are
on Tithis barring Chaturthi, Shashti, Ashtami, Navami, Dwadashi,
Chaturdashi and Purnima; Soma, Budha, Guru and Shukra Vaaraas are suitable;
Ashwini, Uttara, Uttaraashaadha, Uttaraabhadra, Rohini, Mrigaseersha,
Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swaati, Anuraadha, Shravana, Dhanishtha,
Shatabhisha and Revati are good; Vrishabha, Simha and Vrischika Lagnaas are
good.
Now there could be four kinds of names that are ascribed to a
child: Devataa naamaas are as per Ishta Devas; second alternative is on the
basis of Maasaas as illustrated as follows:
Chaitraadi maasa naaaani Vaikunthodha Janardanah Upendro Yagna Purusho
Vaasudevastathaa Harih Yogishah Pundarikaakshah Krishnonantochyuta stathaa
Chakreeti Dwaadashaitaani Naamaani kramaadaahurmaniishinah/
(All these names are on the basis of Chandramaana). The third
criterion is as per Nakshatraasas in :
Ashvayuk, Aapabharanah, Kartikah, Rouhinah, Margasirshah, Ardrakah,
Punarvasu, Tishyah,Aasleshah, Maghah, Purvaaphalgunah, Uttaraaphagunah,
Hastah, Chaitrah, Swaatihi,Vashaakhah, Anuraadhah, Jyaishthah, Moolakah,
Purvaashaadhah, Uttaraashaadhah, Abhijitah, Shraavanah, Shravishthah, Shata
bhishak, Pooravaa –Proushtha paadah, Utaraa proushthakpadah,and Raivatah/
As per Jyotisha Grandhaas the names could be on the lines of
‘chu-che-cho-la Ashwiniproktaa’’ like Chelesha, Cholesha or Lakshmana
starting with the name of the Nakshatra. But Shrouta Granhaas are not in
agreement to this method. Shaankhaayanaas follow the method of naming the
boys on the basis for Nakshatra in another way: like those born in Krittika
are named as Agni Sharma. The four method is of Vyaavahaarika use or
socialised version. For boys the name might contain ‘Samaakshara’ or of
even number like of the second, fourth, six letters and for girls
odd-number names. Even if the earlier Samskaaraas like Garbhaa dhaana,
Pumsavana , Seemanta, Paada Kruccha, Artha Krucchaadi were not performed
earlier, the ‘parihaara prayaschitta homas’ and ‘pratyaamnaaya daanaas’
be executed and make the Sankalpa of Namakarana vidhaana:
Asya Kumaarasyaayurabhi vriddhi dwaaraa vyavahaara siddhi beeja
garbha samudbhavaino nibarhana dwaaraa Shri Parameshwara preetyartham Naama
karmka cha tantrena karishye/--Then the Swasti Vaachanaas would be recited:
Jaatakarma naama karmanoh Punyaaham bhavanto bruvantu/--Asya Kumarasya
Jaata karmaney yetannaamney cha Swasti bhavanto bruvantu/
Then Brahmanas would write down on rice grains in a silver plate the
Vyavaharika Naama of the son which the father would announce to the
invitees audibly and clearly followed by other formalities including
Mangala Geetas, Brahmana Dakshinas and Bhojanaas. In respect of Putrika
Naama Karma, the Procedure would be the same except the Sankalpa which
states Asyaah Kumaryaa—then in the Swasti Vaachana the word replacement
isTannaamnyai/ In the name being given, the Devataanaama like Bhaktaa,
then Maasa naama, Nakshatra naama and the main name presuming feminity or
of Stree Linga vaachaka, as approved by the mother. The Ashwalaayanaas
how-ever opine that the Nakshatra naama is optional only. In the absence of
the father for any reason, the Nama karma could be performed by grandfather.
Dolaarohana or Aandolaa Shayana: Keeping the newly born in a Swing is
prescribed for the the twelfth day for a boy and thirteenth day for a girl
child, irrespective of Tithi-Vaara- Nakshatraas. If that specific day is
missed, then the suitable Nakshatraas are Uttara, Uttaraashaadha,
Uttaraabhadra, Rohini, Hasta, Ashvini, Pushyami, Revati, Anuraada, Mriga
sirsha, Chitra,Punarvasu, Shravana and Swati, provided the Tithi Vaara
Taaraabala considerations are cleared.
Dugdha Paana: After worshipping Kula Devata and a Brahmana, cow milk
be administered to the child through a Shankha or Conch Shell and this may
be done on the thirty first day of the birth of the child or on the Janma
Nakshatra in the morning or mid-day. Jala Puja: The Prasava Stree should
perform Jala Puja at a water body after a month of the birth on a Budha or
Soma or Guru Vaara at the coincidence of Shranana, Pushya, Punarvasu, Mriga
seersha,Hasta, Moola, and Anuradha Nakshatras. The Guru-Shukraastamas,
Chitra Pouysha Months and Adhika Maasaas are however avoidable.
*6 Suryaavalokana and Nishkramana:* The prescribed time for the
vision of Surya by the child is in the third month of the birth while
Nishkramana should be in the fourth month or after the Anna-Praashana
function. Shukla Paksha is suitable for these tasks; excepting the three
days from Trayodashi the Krishna Paksha is not suitable. Shashthi,
Ashtami, Amavasya and Dwadashi are avoidabe. Guru-Budha-Shukra Vaaraas and
Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, the three Uttaras, Hasta, Dhanishta,
Shravana, Revati, Punarvasu, Anuraadha are excellent.
