20.3

तत्र नियतभवं नित्यं तन्मयीभाव एव नैमित्तिकं तदुपयोगि सन्ध्योपासनं प्रत्यहम् अनुष्ठानं पर्वदिनं पवित्रकम् इत्यादि

Transliteration (IAST)

tatra niyatabhavaṃ nityaṃ tanmayībhāva eva naimittikaṃ tadupayogi sandhyopāsanaṃ pratyaham anuṣṭhānaṃ parvadinaṃ pavitrakam ityādi

— that which arises at fixed (times) ; — is the obligatory rite ; — which is precisely the state of identity with That ; — the occasional, which is auxiliary to that ; — the worship at the junctures (of the day) ; — daily observance ; — the festival day ; — the consecratory cord (pavitraka) rite

There, that which arises at fixed times is the obligatory rite, which is precisely the state of identity with That; the occasional, which is auxiliary to it, is the worship at the junctures of the day, the daily observance, the festival day, the consecratory-cord rite, and so on.
