Yet another rite is kalasaadihvaasam. After adhivaasa-homam the sampaathas of all homa-kundas are collected in a single kalasa. By following the principle of dravya-nyaasa the sampaatha is made to touch all dravya-kalasas by reciting the concemed moola-manthra and flowers offered to each. Then the flowers in between the kalaSas are removed and sprinkled with water and ashta-gandha-jala. The mu]a-paalikas are then kept around the brahma-kalasa and darbha leaves are placed in such a way that all other kalasas touch the. brahma-kalasa at the centre. By reciting manthras all of them are covered with new clothes and over them are laid darbha, gandha, flowers etc and ashta-gandha-jala is sprinkled. Then the Aachaarya, after deha-suddhi recites manthras relating to the twenty five thathwas mentioned earlier and unites them into brahma-kalasa by prartava-manthra in the opposite sequence -of dravya-nyaasa. Then the rites are concluded by performing various intricate nyaasas, praanaayaama, moola- manthra, pooja, nivedya, prasanna-pooja etc. After adhivaasa-sampaatha, water in the karkkari is sprinkled over the kalasas and poorna-pushpaanjali done by reciting manthras.
