Gold Idols of Shrivishnu and Vaivasvat Yama should be established on two pots and their Ritualistic worship involving sixteen specific substances or steps worship should be done. Draw a line with a blade of darbha to the east of the pots and spread the darbhas southwards. Also, sprinkle water on them amidst chanting of the mantra – ‘शुन्धन्तां विष्णुरूपी प्रेतः’ ten times.

Offer ten pindas which have honey, ghee and sesame seeds on the darbhas amidst chanting of ‘काश्यपगोत्र अमुकप्रेत विष्णुदैवत अयं ते पिण्डः. Worship the pindas with the application of sandalwood paste and then absorb them in a river or a water-body. This is the rite of the first day.

Second day

Do the ritualistic worship of Shrivishnnu during the mid-day. Then, invite Brahmans in odd numbers that is, one, three or five. Do the corpse in the form of Shrivishnnu. From washing the feet of the Brahmans till satisfying them with a meal, do this shradh without chanting of mantras. Offer four pindas to Shrivishnu, Brahma, Shiva, and Yama together with His retinue, amidst chanting of their Names. Offer the fifth pinda to the corpse in the form of Shrivishnu. Also, after ritualistic worship, immerse the pindas and give money to the Brahmans.
