O great lord, listen to the sacred procedure for worshipping the divine discus, as revealed in the Garuda Purana. The worshipper should begin by offering fragrance and flowers to the discus, honoring it with devotion and reverence. O Rudra, whoever undertakes this supreme worship of the discus, should, after making these offerings, recite a hymn renowned for destroying all ailments. The hymn is addressed to the blazing one, encircled by a garland of flames, possessing a thousand spokes and shining like an all-seeing eye. Salutations are offered to the excellent and wondrous discus—destroyer of all hostile mantras, protector of the worlds, and vanquisher of wicked demons. The devotee bows to the discus, whose very form is light, dispelling the fear of worldly existence, and to the one who transcends the planets, who is the lord of all celestial bodies. Repeated salutations are given to the bestower of grace and protector of the devoted, to the discus—the mighty weapon of Vishnu—again and again. Whoever recites this hymn with supreme devotion, reducing their sins to ashes, becomes worthy of entering the realm of Vishnu and attains his world. Thus concludes the thirty-third chapter of the Purva-khanda in the glorious Garuda Mahapurana, named ‘The Procedure for Sudarshana Worship.’ Once more, a request is made: “O Hṛṣīkeśa, wielder of the mace, please instruct me again about the worship of the gods.” Hari responds: “Listen, O Lord of the universe, to the method by which Vishnu is pleased. The root mantra for this worship is the utterance of Hayagrīva: ‘Oṃ sauṃ kṣauṃ, obeisance to the head,’ united with the sacred praṇava. Hear now its limbs, O bull-bannered one: ‘Oṃ kṣīṃ, to the head, svāhā’ is recited for the head, and likewise ‘kṣūṃ, vaṣaṭ.’ ‘Oṃ’ joined with ‘ka’ is known as the deity's crest, and ‘Oṃ kṣauṃ, for the three eyes, vauṣaṭ’ is declared for the deity’s eye.” Hari continues: “Now I will explain the procedure of worship. Listen attentively. First, after bathing and performing the purification of ācamana, proceed to the place of worship. Upon entering properly, perform the acts of drying and other necessary rituals. Then, after producing an egg, break it with the utterance of ‘Oṃ’ alone. Next, meditate upon the divine form: white as a conch, jasmine, or the moon, shining like lotus fiber or silver, and bearing the conch, discus, mace, and lotus in four arms. Visualize him adorned with a crown and earrings, garlanded with forest flowers, and accompanied by all the gods. Having thus meditated on the great soul, display the auspicious mudrās—such as those of the conch and lotus. Then invoke Rudra and the deities associated with the seat, and, having invoked them in the sacred maṇḍala, worship them with the svastika and other auspicious marks. Offer obeisance to Acyuta along with all his attendants, and to Yamunā, the great goddess, as well as to the treasures of the conch and lotus. Then, O Mahadeva, worship the Tortoise, the Support of the world. Next, honor detachment and lordliness in the fire and other directions, and worship sattva, rajas, and tamas in the central region. Proceed to worship the circles named Sun, Moon, and Fire, and, O Vrishadhvaja, honor pure and uplifting knowledge, and the union of action. In the eastern and other leaves of the maṇḍala, worship the pure and other deities, using names that begin with the sacred syllable and end with ‘namah,’ as well as those ending in the dative case. Offer them a bath, fragrance, flowers, and incense, following this prescribed procedure, as has now been declared to you, O Hara. Finally, imagine the deity arriving with the Vamana gesture of the hands, completing the sacred worship as revealed by the tradition.
