The following is Patrick Olivelle's English translation of the samnyAsapaddhati, also called nyAsapaddhati.* This is from an article titles ANANDATIRTHA'S SAMNYASAPADDHATI occuring at pages 292 - 303 of the Adyar Library Bulletin, vol. 44 - 45, 1980 - 81:
नत्वा नारायण देवं पूर्णं ब्रह्माक्षरोदितम् ।
यतेराचरणं वक्ष्ये यथाशास्त्रानुसारतः ॥१॥
अरुणोदयवेलायामुत्थाय हरिमानसः ।
शौचादिकं यथान्यायं कृत्वा दन्तान् विशोधयेत् ॥२॥
कटिशौचं मृदा कुर्याच्छुद्ध्यर्थे जलसंस्थितः ।
स्नानं कुर्याद् यथोक्तेन विधिना नियतो यतिः ॥३॥
धृत्वोऽर्ध्वपुण्ड्रं विधिवत् प्रकल्प्यासनमच्युते ।
मनो निवेश्याष्टमन्त्रान् यथाशक्ति जपेच्छुचिः ॥४॥
द्वादशसाहस्रवृत्तिं परं ब्रह्माक्षरं जपेत् ।
दण्डोदकं जपस्यान्ते दद्याद् विधिविधानतः ॥५॥
देवतां परमां सम्यक् पूजयेच्च विधानतः ।
भिक्षाकाले विधानेन कुर्याद् भिक्षाटनं यतिः ॥६॥
एकस्य भिक्षाचरणं जघन्यमिति चोदितम् ।
अनेकभिक्षाचरणं मुख्यधर्मो यतेः स्मृतः ॥७॥
त्रिपञ्चसप्तसद्मानि गच्छेन्नातोऽधिकं बुधः ।
भिक्षाग्रहणकाले तु गृह्णीयाद् दातृतो जलम् ॥८॥
भिक्षान्ने तज्जलं प्रोक्षेत् पुनर्ग्राह्य विदालजम् ।
निवेदयेत् तदन्नं तु वारिजस्थोदकेन तु ॥९॥
प्रोक्ष्य देवाय महते मूलमन्त्रेण वाग्यतः ।
तदन्नं भक्षयेत् स्वस्थो ह्यजवद् विष्णुतत्परः ॥१०॥
त्रिवारमुदके स्नानं यतेः शास्त्रेषु चोदितम् ।
अशक्तस्य यतेः शास्त्रे द्विवारं स्नानचोदना ॥११॥
अत्यन्ताशक्तविषये त्वेकस्नानं स्मृतं बुधैः ।
वेदान्तशास्त्राभ्यसनं मुख्यधर्मो यतेः स्मृतः ॥१२॥
ध्येयो नारायणो नित्यं सृष्टिस्थित्यन्तकारकः ।
भक्तानां मुक्तिदो नित्यमधमाज्ञानिनां तमः ॥१३॥
पूर्णप्रज्ञेन मुनिना व्यासवाक्यसमुद्धृतिः ।
न्यासधर्मस्य विषये कृता संक्षेपतः शुभा ॥१४॥
इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्यविरचिता संन्यासपद्धतिः समाप्ता ।
" 1. Having bowed to nArAyaNa, the God replete, proclaimed by the mystic oM, I shall explain the conduct of a renouncer according to the dictates of sacred scripture.
2. Rising from bed at dawn, his mind fixed on hari [vishhNu], he should perform properly the purification, etc., and clean his teeth.
3. Standing in water, he should clean his loins with earth in order to become pure. Self - controlled, the renouncer should bathe in the prescribed manner.
4. The pure [renouncer] should then put the vertical sectarian marks on his forehead, duly prepare the seat, and, directing his mind to the Imperishable [vishhNu], silently recite the eight - syllable formula.
5. Let him silently recite the supreme mystic syllable oM twelve thousand times. At the conclusion of the silent recitation he should pour water on the staff * in the prescribed manner.
* This rite is referred to as daNDatarpaNa.
6. He should also duly worship the supreme deity according to the rules. At the proper time the renouncer should go on his begging round in the prescribed manner.
The proper time for begging is indicated in the following celebrated verse:
vidhUme sannamusale vyaN^gAre Bhuktvajjane vR^itte sharAvasampAte bhixAM nityaM yatish charet (manu)
7. Begging from a single house is declared to be the worst type. The principle duty of a renouncer, according to the smR^itis, is to beg from several houses.
mAdhukaraM chared bhaixaM yatir mlechchhakulAd api ekAnna tu na bhuJNjIta bR^ihaspatisamAd api
(atri)
8. A wise man should not visit more than three, five, or seven houses. When accepting the begged food he should receive water from the donor.
yatihaste jalaM dadyAd bhaixaM dadyAt punar jalam (parAshara)
9 - 10. He should sprinkle that water on the begged food. Taking the cane bowl once again he should announce that food to the great God using the basic formula, after having sprinkled it with water from a conch shell. His mind resting on vishhNu, a healthy person should silently eat that food like a goat [or like brahmA].
ajavat
11. The scriptures enjoin a renouncer to bathe in water three times a day. An infirm renouncer is enjoined in the scriptures to bathe twice a day.
12. The wise prescribe a bath once a day in the case of an extremely feeble renouncer. The smR^itis lay down the study of the vedAnta treatises as the principle duty of a renouncer.
13. One should ever meditate on nArAyaNa, the author of the creation, the preservation and the destruction (of the universe). He always grants liberation to His devotees, while He is the darkness(unknown) of the vilest ignorant men.
14. The sage pUrNaprajJNa has made this excellent summary of the Law of renunciation drawn from the statements of vyAsa.
Thus ends the handbook on renunciation prepared by the Blessed Teacher shrI AnandatIrtha. "
