Svastivācana
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Before beginning any auspicious religious rite, some brāhmaṇas, elders and sumaṅgalis[1] are invited. They honored and then requested to say ‘May it be auspicious!’ This is called svastivācana or svastyayana. This is a custom prevalent even now.
