In reverence and devotion, the prescribed offerings were gathered: fine clothing and ornaments, garlands of fresh flowers, fragrant substances, and pure water for sipping. These gifts, fashioned from sandalwood, gold, and other precious materials, were presented with care. Sacred water, along with water for washing the feet, was offered—each act bringing great merit and delight to the heart. The offering water was pure, accompanied by durva grass, blossoms, and grains of rice, symbolizing auspiciousness and abundance. Fragrant amla oil, renowned for enhancing beauty, was brought forth—its essence originating from the Malaya mountains, known to increase the body’s radiance. All these fragrant substances, auspicious and pleasing, imparted a divine aroma, worthy of being beheld by all. Merely witnessing these offerings brought brilliance and satisfaction, nourishing and delighting the senses, and dispelling hunger. Among the offerings was the betel leaf, excellent and pleasing, imbued with camphor and other scents. Cool and aromatic, it quenched thirst and enhanced bodily beauty, increasing the splendor of the assembly. These leaves, sometimes bound with gold and other precious materials, were always endowed with prosperity and conferred it in turn. Adorned with a variety of flowers, creepers, and vibrant colors, they embodied all that is auspicious, bestowing blessings upon all who beheld them. Everything presented was pure, bestowing purity and greatly pleasing to the pure-hearted. Some offerings were crafted from precious gems, combined with sandalwood and flowers, produced from various trees and manifesting in many forms. Vermilion, excellent and pleasing, was applied to the forehead, increasing its beauty. Sacred threads, knotted with purified intent, completed the offerings. Having given these substances as prescribed, the wise would then recite the sacred hymn. The Savitri mantra, ending in the fourth case and concluding with “born from fire,” was invoked. The syllables Śrīṃ, Hrīṃ, Klīṃ, and the invocation “Svāhā to Savitri” were chanted, as the tradition of sustaining the Brahmins was revealed. Long ago, Krishna himself had given the Savitri mantra to Brahma in the eternal realm of Goloka. By Krishna’s command, Brahma, filled with devotion, circumambulated the mother of the Vedas. The hymn was then recited: “Become pleased, O beautiful one, in the form of the birth of the twice-born. O eternal one, eternally beloved goddess, whose nature is perpetual bliss. O embodiment of all forms, essence of mantras for the Brahmins, supreme among the supreme. To burn away the sins of Brahmins, you are like a blazing flame of fire. Whatever sin a Brahmin commits by body, mind, or speech—let it be consumed.” Having thus spoken, the creator of the worlds remained in the assembly, witnessing the ritual. By this king of hymns, the lord of horses is praised, O king. Whoever recites this auspicious hymn at the three sacred junctions of the day receives its blessings. Then, Nārāyaṇa said: There, the king beheld the goddess, radiant as a thousand suns. Pleased and smiling, the goddess spoke to him. Sāvitrī declared, “Whatever you and your wife desire, I shall surely grant. Your beloved also desires a virtuous maiden.” Having thus spoken, the great goddess departed for Brahma’s world. By Sāvitrī’s grace, from the king’s wealth, Kamalā, the artful one, was born. In the course of time, Kamalā grew, day by day, blossoming with each passing moment.
