In the beginning, the devotee should chant the dvādaśākṣara-mantra and offer flower garlands, incense and so on. After worshiping the Lord in this way, one should bathe the Lord with milk and dress Him with proper garments, a sacred thread, and ornaments. After offering water to wash the Lord’s feet, one should again worship the Lord with fragrant flowers, incense and other paraphernalia.

The dvādaśākṣara-mantra is oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. While worshiping the Deity, one should ring a bell with his left hand and offer pādya, arghya, vastra, gandha, mālā, ābharaṇa, bhūṣaṇa and so on. In this way, one should bathe the Lord with milk, dress Him and again worship Him with all paraphernalia.

Translation
After offering flower garlands, incense and other items, one should bathe the Lord with milk and then offer cloth, a sacred thread, ornaments, foot water, ācamana, sandalwood, incense and other paraphernalia using the twelve syllable mantra. First, after offering foot water one should bathe the Lord. After bathing the Lord, one should dress him with cloth, thread, and ornaments. Again one should offer foot water and other items. The word ca indicates “many other items.” In offering these items one should utter the twelve syllable mantra.
