Dear Prapatti Group Members: Thanks to Shri Sadagopan for the translation of manaseeka snana slokams. Shri Sadagopan had referred to the "Aapo Hishta..." mantras for the mantra snanam. In some practices, before these mantras, Gayatri Mantra is also included. However, I am used to a shorter version of mantra snanam Viz. Take a liitle water on the palm of your right hand, chant the following mantra "Apavithra: Pavithrova Sarvastham Gathopiva, Ya: Smareth Pudarikaksham Sa Bhahyabhyantara Suchi: Sri Harirhari: Pundarikakshaaya nama: iti Atmanam Prokshya ( and sprinkle the water).
