*Upasaṃgrahaṇa* consists in repeating one's gotra and name, saying 'I salute', touching one's ears, clasping the feet (as stated above) and bending one's head while so doing. In *abhivādana* there is no clasping of the feet with the hands; one may or may not touch the feet of the person to be honoured. *Abhivādana* must always be preceded by pratyutthāna.⁸¹²
