Mālya) refers to “one wearing a garland”, as quoted by Hṛdayaśiva in his Prāyaścittasamuccaya (verse 10.27-35).—Accordingly, “[...] Dressed in white, with a white turban and a white sacred thread and white unguents and garland (sita-sragvin), he should perform the observance for the vidyādhipa-mantra. Dressed in red garments and red garlands (rakta-mālya) and unguents the Mantrin should first perform for one month the stated observance for the brahmaśiras. [...]”.
