The Siksha-Patri of the Swami-Narayana Sect

In making the following translation I have been careful to study the Sanskrit commentary called Artha-dîpikâ, written for me in clear beautiful characters by Pandit Šatânandamuni (one of the disciples of Svâmi-Nârâyana), by order of the Wartâl Mahârâja, after one of the formal visits to the Wartâl Temple, which were kindly arranged for me by Mr. Frederick Sheppard, C. S. , late Collector of Kaira, and now Commissioner. When the eclipse has passed off, they should bathe with their clothes on, and those who are householders should distribute gifts according to their ability. Other persons (who have no worldly means) should engage in the worship of the supreme Lord (Vishnu).
