Usually yajurupākarma falls on paurṇamī of śrāvaṇa month. If it not
possible to perform it in that month due to unfavorable circumstances, then
the same can be performed on paurṇamī of bhādrapada month (i.e., the
following month).

kāmō’kārṣīt manyurakārṣīt japam

After your morning bath and sandhyāvandanam, do two ācamanam and

sit down on a slightly raised platform facing east. Place two strands of
darbha grass under your seat. Wear a pavitram made of two strands of
darbha grass on your right ring finger and fold two strands of darbha grass
around your ring finger. Perform three prāṇāyāmam. Recite the following

On your right thigh, place your left palm facing upward with the right palm
on top of it facing downward. This is the posture for performing
saṅkalpam or mahāsaṅkalpam. The difference between saṅkalpam
and mahāsaṅkalpam is only in its length, the former being shorter than
the latter. Henceforth, when we refer to performing saṅkalpam or
mahāsaṅkalpam, you must first configure this posture and then recite the
text indicated.

Perform the mahāsaṅkalpam by reciting

This completes the process of wearing the new yajñōpavītam.

For the unmarried persons, the following three mantrās apply for wearing
mauñji, kṛṣṇājina, and palāśa daṇḍaṃ. For the first item, i.e., mauñji,
recite the following and wear a belt made of a couple of strands of durvā
around the waist. If this is not available, a couple of strands of darbha
grass can be used.

For kṛṣṇājina, the following is recited after which a piece of deer skin is
tied to your yajñōpavītam

If you are unable to find a piece of deer skin, a few strands of darbha grass
can be used instead. For the third item, following is recited after which a
small twig of the peepul tree ( palāśa daṇḍaṃ ) is held in the right hand.
If you are not able to get this, a couple of strands of darbha grass could
be used instead.

navakāṇḍa ṛṣi tarpaṇaṃ

As a pre-requisite for this procedure, prepare a mixture of uncooked rice

and black sesame seeds. For brevity, we will call this mixture as RS mixture.
It would be helpful if someone assisted you by providing small quantities
of this mixture and water while you offer the tarpaṇam. For our reference,
we will call the person assisting you as the helper. Now, do ācamanam
twice. Perform the sāttvika tyāgam by reciting

Stand facing north. Join both your palms such that they face upward. Wear
the yajñōpavītam like a necklace such that it goes around your neck and
in between your index finger and thumb of both your hands. The sacred
knots rest on your palms.

This tarpaṇam comprises of three parts. The first seven offerings of the
tarpaṇam are offered as ṛṣi tīrtham. To start this tarpaṇam, have the
helper place a small amount of the RS mixture on your palms and pour
some water. Now recite each line below and release the RS mixture such
that it exits from the base of the little fingers of both your palms, as shown
in Figure 1. For each line, a fresh amount of RS mixture must be used.

Since the most important part of upākarma is vēdādhyayanam, one

should recite whatever part of vēda one knows. Traditionally, at least one
anuvākam from the vēda is recited. For example, if one knows puruṣa
sūktam, one can recite this. At the very least, gāyatrī japam is recom-
mended.
