Whoever undertakes this sacred rite, offering with devotion seventy-four times in the morning, using hot, freshly-cooked milk, pure butter, and fresh curds, follows a path of great merit. The worshipper should present nine different substances, each in quantities matching the number of the sun, as an act of reverence. When the best among Vaishnavas performs these offerings, he attains the results previously described in the teachings. With a pure mind, he should contemplate sugar, rock candy, and hot milk, as well as water, and offer these with sincerity. He should also make offerings of wealth, garments, and nourishing food, accompanied by groups of attendants, understanding that all worldly objectives can be fulfilled solely through such acts of giving. If one desires flawless prosperity, the minister must offer auspicious flowers of fortune. Wild flowers are best suited for brahmins, while fragrant jasmine should be presented to the kings of the earth. Salt is used to bring all under control, and lotuses are chosen for young women. The cowherd, lord of the cow-pen, knows that peace for the cows is quickly achieved through such mindful offerings. Meditating deeply, the minister should offer pure water as though it were milk, or use sacred sticks from the Brahma tree, kuśa grass, sesame seeds, and rice grains in his rites. To gain the favor of brahmins, he should offer products from royal trees. For the final group, the wise man brings them under control with flowers from the pāṭala tree. By offering ten thousand times a mixture of honey, ghee, and sugar, the practitioner brings even the most excellent women under his sway. Noble women, too, are brought under control through proper rites conducted over eight days. If he persists in offering daily for a month, he may even bring the lord of the gods under control. Throughout, the practitioner should remember Krishna, reciting the sacred mantra a thousand times each night, with unwavering devotion and wisdom. Indeed, what more need be said? This mantra is powerful enough to bring all under control. One should meditate in the lotus of the heart upon Devakī’s mighty son—Krishna—who is known by the great sages, adorned with divine ornaments that shine with golden radiance, whose very form dispels all fear, who wears yellow garments, and is the destroyer of evil. For Manu, one should offer a single oblation, separated by two stars, using a thousand sticks of arka wood, with clarified butter as prescribed, or with milk, or with a mixture of honey, ghee, and sugar, or with rice pudding. The practitioner should meditate daily and recite the mantra three thousand times. Having thus performed as described, with the mind absorbed in the rite, he crosses beyond the ocean of worldly existence and attains the supreme state. Within the mantra, among its syllables, with Śrī and Śakti at the beginning, and forms of two, nine, and three letters, each is placed upon a lotus for the ten-lettered mantra and its script. Upon a cloth adorned with gold, made into a small ball, this protective device is said to grant all desires. It is of incomparable power for those seeking protection, fame, sons, land, wealth, grain, prosperity, and good fortune. The six-syllabled mantra is declared to bestow all accomplishments. This mantra, infused with the essence of Govinda, fire, and moon, bears the Śrī seed. Whether in a Śālagrāma stone, a precious gem, a device, a diagram, or an image, whoever worships Krishna in this way attains the highest state. Krishna is the deity, desire is the seed, and Śakti is the second principle, as the wise declare. Having infused the root, enveloping it with the mantra, the practitioner places the ten principles, moving with the root as the pervader. He should place the mantras on the head, forehead, between the eyebrows, on the eyes, and on the ears; then on the abdomen, at the navel, on the organ, and at the root of the lotus. The mantras are placed on the heart and other limbs in what is called the creation-placement. Finally, they are placed on the waist, knees, shanks, ankles, and feet as well. Thus, by following these sacred instructions, the devotee’s practice is complete, leading him to fulfillment, protection, and the supreme state.
