सूर्य-अर्घ्य-प्रदानम्

स्त्रीणां सूर्यार्घ्यप्रदान-विधिः
Method of women offering Arghya to Sūrya
After bathing, wearing clean clothes, applying tilakam etc., and taking clean water in a tīrtha pātram, this must be offered with devotion.
This must be offered thrice every day. It must be done facing east in the morning, and facing west in the evening. At noon, face east until midday has elapsed, and west thereafter.
Pray to Sūrya with the first shloka. Then, chanting the second shloka three times, offer Arghyam for each repetition. Arghya means joining the two hands together, cupped with palms facing up, taking water in them, and offering it with devotion.
करणीयानि, अकरणीयानि च
Do-s and don't-s
Arghya must be offered in a waterbody such as a river, or in a clean place. If that is not possible, it may be offered in a plate or vessel and then poured away in another clean place.
The water offered as Arghya should not get mixed with dirty water; it should not be touched by feet. If it spills where feet might touch it, wipe it away.
Not only for this, but for any anushthanam, the vessels used must be made of traditional metals such as copper, brass etc. Stainless steel should not be used.
If one incurs an āśaucham, one may mentally pray to Sūrya, but perform this only after the āśaucham has elapsed and śuddhi is acquired.

प्रार्थना

Come O Sūrya! You are the thousand-rayed effulgence! You are the ruler of this world! O causer of daytime! Please accept my Arghyam, showing compassion towards my devotion.
