Shiva Purana
महापीठं समावृत्य त्रिःप्रदक्षिणयोगतः ॥ पुनः प्रविष्टो द्वारस्थो यजमानः कृताञ्जलिः ॥ आदायाभ्यंतरं नीत्वा ह्यस्त्रमुद्वासयेत्ततः ॥ ३४ ॥
Cover the great seat and circumambulate it three times. The priest entered the gate again with folded hands Then he should take the weapon inside and drive it out.
