==Prōkṣaṇaṃ==
When the root verb 'ukṣa sēcanē' is pronounced by using 'pra' as its prefix it means sprinkling water upwards. As stated before, water is sprinkled using the palm. Palm in this position should face the sky while sprinkling. This action is used to sprinkle water upon our head. This action tends to purify our upper body parts.
