{{ToBeEdited}}

Literally it means "return from teacher's house to one's house". This Saṃskāra is not needed if the student learns under his own father or if the student does not want to get married. This Saṃskāra is not an Aṅga (part) of marriage.

After finishing Vedic study and taking the permission of the teacher the student takes the ceremonial bath. Snāna is another term used for Samāvartanam by some Sūtrakāras (Manusmṛti, 3.4). In modern times it is called Snātakavrata or Convocation (held in Universities).<blockquote>वेदमधीत्य स्नास्यन् . . .। आपस्तम्बगृह्यसूत्रम्, १२.१॥</blockquote><blockquote>vedamadhītya snāsyan . . ॥ Āpastambagṛhyasūtram, 12.1॥</blockquote>Having completed the study of Veda, Vedāṅgas, Mīmāṃsā etc., while going to have the ceremonial bath . . .
