With a mind absorbed in devotion, the worshipper first visualizes the sacred form, uniting it with the root-mantra, and within that form, reverently honors the presence of Earth herself. After this, the devotee turns to the vessels placed in the directions, offering worship according to proper rites, and then attends to the energies that dwell in the corner vessels, paying homage to each as prescribed. Having thus completed these offerings, the worshipper proceeds to honor Indra and the other deities, as well as the mighty Vajra and all the rest who preside over the ritual space. The worship of Earth is then completed with generous offerings: cattle, precious gems, fine garments, and other auspicious gifts. In this sacred sequence, the mantra of Jagannatha—so powerful that it bewilders the three worlds—is proclaimed. As the ritual unfolds, at the close of the form of Śrīkaṇṭha, the devotee recites the names 'Lakṣmī' and 'nivāsi'—the dweller. At the end of every word relating to women, the word 'vidāraṇa', meaning 'rending', is uttered; and after the names of gods and demons, the devotee adds the phrase that describes a beautiful human woman. The ritual continues with the recitation of the pair 'śoṣaya'—'dry up'—followed by 'māraya'—'destroy'. Thereafter, 'drāvaya'—'drive away'—and 'ākarṣaya'—'attract'—are recited in turn. At the end of all words denoting prosperity, the word 'karasarva', meaning 'all-doing hand', is spoken. The devotee then contemplates the discus and the mace, followed by the sword, invoking their presence in the worship. The goad is next called forth, and the pair 'tāḍaya'—'strike'—is recited. Visualizing the fulfillment of the ritual, the devotee completes the recitation with the armor mantra 'phaṭ', sealing the act with protection. It is declared that the sage Jaimini is the seer of this sacred rite, and the meter is known as 'Amita'. Kāma is recognized as the seed, Ramā as the power, and the application of these mantras is for the attainment of all desires. After the heart mantra, the word that agitates the world is recited. At the end of the word 'tamas', the devotee utters 'Maṅgaja', referring to Manmatha, the one born of auspiciousness. At the conclusion of the supreme, with both the ears of Bhṛgu invoked, the word 'sarva', meaning 'all', is spoken. Again, after the names of gods and demons, the phrase 'manuja-sundarī', 'beautiful human woman', is recited. Next, the devotee speaks of the weapon-bearing and all-desiring one, and after reciting the pair 'ākarṣaya', the word 'mahābala', 'great strength', is invoked. This is followed by 'tribhuvana', signifying 'three worlds', and the command, 'move, all people'. To bring all under control, the eye mantra is recited at the end of the armor. At the conclusion of the syllables representing the three worlds, the word 'mohana', 'enchantment', is uttered. The mind is then directed into the hearts of all women, filling the space with the presence of the divine. By this means, having pervaded the entire space, the wise devotee remembers Jagannatha. The Lord is visualized with arms radiant like the rising sun, his own abode blazing in all directions. Divine winds stir the air, and his garments are dusted with pollen from swaying lotuses. Within this vision, in a pavilion adorned with sparkling jewels and shining arches, with altars encrusted with gems and a canopy honored by the sky’s very crest, the Lord is beheld. He holds the conch, noose, bows, pestle, the Nandaka sword, and the mace. On his lap rests the lotus of fortune, glowing with the hue of passion. The devotee offers oblations with half-moon-shaped lotuses or with pure jasmine flowers. Desiring to worship Jagannatha, the wise one sprinkles the image with the sacred Gayatri mantra. Reciting, “Let us meditate on Kāma; may Vishnu inspire us,” the devotee arranges a seat upon the previously described Vaishnava altar. There, the image is invoked by the root of resolve, and with the heart of Srivatsa, the devotee worships the Srivatsa mark upon the Lord’s breast. Finally, the Vanamala garland at the Lord’s throat is honored with the heart mantra, completing the sacred act of worship.
