On New year day one has to wakeup early in the morning say 4.30am (arunodaya kala). While getting up turn on your right side and get up. Pray for your family deity first. If no particular deity is worshipped or if you do not know please pray Lord Srinivasa of Tirupathy as this is the famous deity and immediate helper in this Kali yuga.
Then recite ‘karagre……’. Then ‘ Samudravasane….’. Then recite this. Actually this should be chanted daily.

There is a slight different version of this sloka also followed in AP/Karnataka.

After the prayer look at God’s picture, Mirror, Cow, Sun, Acharyas etc . This is to start the day with good omen. Now to sloka.

கபிலம் தர்பணம் தேனும் பாக்யவந்தம் ச பூபதிம்
ஆசார்யம் அந்நதாதாரம் ப்ராத: பஷ்யேத் புதோஜாந:
சாதூனாம் தர்ஷனம் புன்யம் தீர்துபூதாஹி சாதவ:
காலேன பலேதே தீர்தம் சத்ய சாது சமாகம:

Kapilam darpanam daenum bhaagyavantam cha bhoopatim
Aachaaryam annadaataaram praatah pashyaed budhojanaha

Saadhoonaam darshanam punyam teerthoopootaa hi saadhavata
Kaalaena phalatae teertham sadyah saadhu samaagamaha

Meaning:
A wiseman will see in the morning a brown cow, a mirror,
Milch cow, a rich person, a king, his preceptor and a person
Offers food to offers food to poor as charity

It is auspicious to see the virtuous men (saints or sages)
It is meritorious to get purified in holy waters. While it takes
Some time to reap the fruit,from the dip in the holy tirthas,
It gives instantaneous and meritorious result by coming
Together with holy men.
