Once, the bearer of the conch, discus, and mace was asked to describe again the meditation upon the Supreme. Hari replied, revealing the form to be visualized: it is infinite, all-pervading, unborn, and imperishable. This is the eternal, supreme Brahman, existing alone, untouched by decay or limitation. It resides in the hearts of all beings, the great Lord of all creatures. Untouched and liberated, it is contemplated by those united with liberation. This form is beyond speech and senses, free from the functions of breath, without bodily organs, and devoid of all sensory faculties. It is without mind and free from all mental attributes, without ego and the qualities of intellect, and untouched by the vital air called vyāna. Hari then continued, “I will now again describe the worship of the Sun, as was formerly spoken to Bhrigu.” He invoked: “Om, obeisance to Khakholka. Om, obeisance to Khakholka, the god among the thirty-three; Om, obeisance to the knower, ṭhaṭha, to the crest. Om, obeisance to the lord of all radiance, ṭhaṭha, to the weapon.” This mantra forms a fiery rampart, destroying sins related to the Sun. Through the Gāyatrī and the Sun, one should perform complete consecration. Next, worship is offered to the chief of punishment and to the deity in the subsequent direction. In the southwest, to Vajrapāṇi; to Vāyu in the realms of Bhūḥ, Bhuvaḥ, and Svaḥ; Om, obeisance to Aṅgāraka, son of the earth; Om, obeisance to Vāgīśvara, lord of all knowledge; Om, obeisance to Śanaiścara, son of the Sun; Om, obeisance to Ketu. From the east to Īśāna, these deities are to be worshipped, O bull-bannered one; Om, obeisance to the first lord. Then, the devotee calls out: “Om, O Lord, adorned with countless rays! Lord of all the worlds! Drawn by seven horses! Four-armed! Bestower of supreme accomplishment! Tawny like sparks! Come, come here; this arghya placed on my head, accept, accept, O blazing one of terrible form, unclad! Blaze forth, blaze forth, ṭhaṭha, obeisance!” With this invocation mantra, the Sun is then respectfully dismissed. Hari continued, “Now I will describe again the worship of the Sun, as previously told to Dhanada.” After forming the gesture of invocation, Hari is invited. In the southeast direction, O Shiva, the heart of the deity is placed. In the Paurandari direction, with firm concentration, Dharma is placed. In the northeast, Soma is placed; in the Paurandari direction, Lohita. In the southwest, the preceptor of the Daityas; in the west, Shani. In the second enclosure, the twelve Suns are worshipped: Savitṛ, Dhātṛ, and the mighty Vivasvat. From the east, one should worship the gods beginning with Indra, with faith, including Jaya, Vijaya, Jayanti, and Aparajita. Then Hari said, “I will now describe to Kashyapa the worship of the Death-conquering One, as spoken by Garuda.” First, one should utter Om, followed immediately by the syllable Juṅ. By reciting the all-accomplishing armor of Īśa, Viṣṇu, Arka, and Devī, one becomes free from death and devoid of all sins. Reciting it a hundred times grants the fruit of the Vedas and the merit of sacrifices and holy pilgrimages. The devotee should meditate upon him seated on a white lotus, granting boons and fearlessness with his hand. The goddess, who is part of his body, speaks nectar and immortality. This recitation is to be performed eight thousand times, at the three junctions of the day, for a month, without interruption. The worship proceeds through invocation, establishment, restraint, presence, and installation. Offerings include lamp, garment, ornament, food, drink, and fan. Musical instruments, movement, dance, gestures of placement, and circumambulation are performed. Worship is carried out in order, according to the six limbs and other prescribed methods. First, the offering vessel is worshipped, and then it is touched with a cloth, marking the reverent completion of the ritual.
