After sunset he should perform his sandhyâ and then utter: "Om namonârâyaṇâya namaḥ, twâmahaṃ śaraṇaṅgataḥ. I salute Nârâyaṇa, I throw myself under your protection." On the Ekâdaśî day, I shall keep a fast and worship Nârâyaṇa and keep a vigil at night; have a bath early in the morning (\_i.e.\_, on the Dvâdaśî) and make an oblation of clarified butter to Fire.
