गायत्र्! या जपमंत्रांते त्रिरूर्ध्वं प्राग्विनिक्षिपेत् । मंत्रेण सह चैकं वै मध्येऽर्घ्यं तु रवेर्द्विजा २६ ।
O brahmins, at the end of the Japa of Gāyatrī-mantra Arghya shall be offered thrice to the sun towards east and once also thereafter.
english translation
अथ जाते च सायाह्ने भुवि पश्चिमदिण्मुखः । उद्धृत्य दद्यात्प्रातस्तु मध्याह्नेंगुलिभिस्तथा २७ ।
The offering of Arghya in the morning is by lifting both the hands high up; that in the midday by letting off the water through the fingers and that in the evening by letting the water over the ground facing the west.
english translation
अंगुलीनां च रंध्रेण लंबं पश्येद्दिवाकरम् । आत्मप्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा शुद्धाचमनमाचरेत् २८ ।
In the midday the sun is to be viewed through the fingers reciting the mantra prescribed for that. The circumambulation of oneself is performed (in the prescribed manner) and the pure Ācamana (without mantras) is performed.
english translation
सायं मुहूर्तादर्वाक्तु कृता संध्या वृथा भवेत् । अकालात्काल इत्युक्तो दिनेऽतीते यथाक्रमम् २९ ।
Sandhyā prayer performed before the prescribed time is ineffective. Hence Sandhyā shall be performed at the prescribed time. The expiatory rite for the omission of Sandhyā prayer for a day is the repetition of Gāyatrī a hundred times more than the usual number of times for ten days.
english translation
दिवाऽतीते च गायत्रीं शतं नित्ये क्रमाज्जपेत् । आदर्शाहात्पराऽतीते गायत्रीं लक्षमभ्यसेत् 1-13-३० ।
If the omission is for ten days or more, Gāyatrī must be repeated for a hundred thousand times as atonement.
