Sripada tirtham destroys all kinds of sins. This tirtham should be partaken during one’s Acaryan’s thriunakshatram. Thirumanjanam has to be performed for the Paduka on dwadasi and its tirtham should be partaken on that day.
If there are any misdemeanors on our part or if we come across taints it is a practice to partake Sripadha tirtam.
Generally, all the disciples of an Acarya can accept the Sripadha tirtham and those who hold the Acarya in high esteem can also accept the tirtham.
NOTES:
There is sloka that has to be chanted while accepting the tirtham, one can seek the sloka from their respective Acarya-s. Generally, this sloka is chanted while accepting the Sripadha tirtham.
