    Aghamarṣaṇa nt.: Name of a sacred

    text (Ṛgveda 10. 190. 1-3) composed by the

    sage Aghamarṣaṇa, son of Madhucchandas.

    According to Manu, one who takes a

    dip into water and recites the Aghamarṣaṇa

    mantras thrice (a day) acquires the fruit of

    an Aśvamedha sacrifice; such a person drives

    away quickly his sin, is honoured, and all

    beings try to please him (api cainaṃ prasī-

    danti bhūtāni) 12. 148. 26-27; one who bathes

    in the water of the Kulyātīrtha and repeats

    the Aghamarṣaṇa mantras and, remaining

    undefiled, fasts for three nights gets the fruit

    of an Aśvamedha sacrifice 13. 26. 53; while

    observing the brahmacarya vow, if one slips

    (makes a fault) in sleep he should recite

    mentally the Aghamarṣaṇa mantras thrice;

    this way he burns the sin within himself

    which was the result of the quality of passion

    (magnaḥ svapne ca manasā trir japed

    aghamarṣaṇam//pāpmānaṃ nirdahed evam

    antarbhūtaṃ rajomayam) 12. 207. 13-14.
