Repeating the words 'bhO: svAmin ehi' one should invite the God & place Him back in the heart. If the worship is for the benefit of others, the God should be placed back in the Sun or Agni.

Offer flower, manthrAkshathe and bid farewell to all the devathAs.

 

Very carefully and gently place the sAligrAma and other icons into the samputa and place them in a deerskin lined box (krishnAnjana pettige). Manya suktha or narayana sukta is usually chanted at this time.

 

We should ask the Lord to come back into our hearts and reside at this time as said in verse 120.

 

 

There is a famous song sung by shrI vijaya dAsaru. This song can also be sung at this time.
