Āsanaśuddhi (आसनशुद्धि) refers to the procedure of “sanctifying the āsana”, according to the Arcana-dīpikā (manual on deity worship).—Accordingly, while explaining the procedures performed in the morning:—First, place the āsana on the floor, purify the hands, and perform ordinary ācamana. Sanctify the āsana by chanting: “oṃ āsana-mantrasya meru-pṛṣṭha-ṛṣiḥ, sutalaṃ chandaḥ kūrmo devatā āsanopaveśane viniyogaḥ”. Then chant “oṃ ādhāra-śaktaye namaḥ, oṃ anantāya namaḥ, oṃ kūrmāya namaḥ”.

Afterward, touch the āsana and chant:

pṛthvī tvayā dhṛtā lokā devi tvaṃ viṣṇunā dhṛtā
tvaṃ ca dhāraya māṃ nityaṃ pavitraṃ cāsanaṃ kuru

“O Pṛthivī-devī (mother earth), you support all the world’s people, and Śrī Viṣṇu sustains you. O goddess, please always support me and sanctify this āsana.”

Then sprinkle some water on the āsana and offer fragrant flowers to the āsana.
