Shiva Purana
तस्माच्छ्रवणमेवादौ श्रुत्वा गुरुमुखाद्बुधः । ततः संसाधयेदन्यत्कीर्तनं मननं सुधीः २५ ।
Hence Śravaṇa (listening) is the first rite. The intelligent scholar must listen to the oral explanation of the preceptor and then practise the other rites.—Kīrtana (glorifying) and Manana (deliberation).
