agnirmūrdhā divo mantraṃ japannāste udaṅmukhaḥ
śūdrastūṣṇīṃ smaranbhaumam āste bhogavivarjitaḥ //

He should mutter the mantras, "Agnimûrdhâ diva," by turning his face towards the north. If the devotee be a Śudra, he should silently, without uttering any mantra, meditate over the form of Bhauma (Mars). The company of women should be avoided that day.—28.
