One should wake up from sleep at the hour known as the Brahma Muhurta and then think of both religion and worldly profit. Getting up from bed, one should then wash his face and mouth, and joining his hands in an attitude of respect, then say the morning prayers.
ब्राह्म मुहूर्ते बुध्येत धर्मार्थो चानुचिन्तयेत्। उत्थायाचम्य तिष्ठेत पूर्वो संध्यां कृताञ्जलिः॥
