The worshiper should then purify those three vessels. He should sanctify the vessel holding water for washing the Lord's feet by chanting hridayaya namah, the vessel containing water for arghya by chanting sirase svaha, and the vessel containing water for washing the Lord's mouth by chanting sikhayai vashat. Also, the Gayatri mantra should be chanted for all three vessels.
