Dikshaniyaishti is a curious sacrificial ceremony. During Dikshaniyaishti the gods, mainly Vishnu and Agni are invoked to accept the offering with the Diksha. The gods are prayed to grant the diksha to the sacrifice.
During the Dikshaniyaishti ceremony, Agni as fire and Vishnu as the sun are invoked to cleanse the sacrificer by the combination of their rays from all gross and material dress. The worshipper is then covered up in a cloth on the outside of which is placed the skin of a black antelope. After a certain time and recitation of specified prayers, the coverings are removed. Then, the new birth is considered to have been accomplished and the regenerated man descends to bathe.
