🙏🏻 On Nag Panchami, after getting up early in the morning and taking a bath, first meditate on Lord Shiva. Then say this mantra in front of the idol of the pair of snakes and serpents (made of gold, silver or copper):
🌷 अनन्तं वासुकिं शेषं पद्मनाभं च कम्बलम्।
शंखपाल धृतराष्ट्रं तक्षकं कालियं तथा।।
एतानि नव नामानि नागानां च महात्मनाम्।
सायंकाले पठेन्नित्यं प्रात:काले विशेषत:।।
तस्मै विषभयं नास्ति सर्वत्र विजयी भवेत्।।

🙏🏻 Then take the resolution of worship and fasting. Bathe the statue of the couple of snakes and serpents with milk. After that, take a bath with pure water and worship with fragrance, flowers, incense, lamps and offer white sweets. Pray this prayer:

🌷 सर्वे नागा: प्रीयन्तां मे ये केचित् पृथिवीतले।।
ये च हेलिमरीचिस्था येन्तरे दिवि संस्थिता।
ये नदीषु महानागा ये सरस्वतिगामिन:।
ये च वापीतडागेषु तेषु सर्वेषु वै नम:।।

🌷 ऊँ नागकुलाय विद्महे विषदन्ताय धीमहि तन्नो सर्प: प्रचोदयात्।
