Once, the command was given: “Reside always in Satyaloka, and as you go, keep me ever in your remembrance.” Obedient to this divine instruction, he departed with his devoted wife, and together, they set about the work of creation. In the course of time, the five-faced one—Brahma—addressed Krishna, O wise one, with reverence. He said, “At the end of creation, withdraw all worlds from everywhere.” Thus, after a span of ages, O Brahman, Krishna, the Supreme Self, prepared to act. The Blessed Lord then instructed her: “Go to Vaikuntha, O honored one.” She, full of humility, bowed to Krishna and proceeded to the presence of Narayana. Among these divine beings, who are of complete form, there exist practices of mantra, meditation, worship, and more. There are sacred syllables, ritual acts, the establishment of the worship, and supreme fullness, all performed with deep devotion. The seer of these mantras is Sutapas, the meter is Chandas, the deity is Gayatri, and the mind is Manu. With the six-syllabled mantra, one should form the six limbs, each adorned with a bindu. In meditation, she appears with a radiance like white champaka blossoms, shining with the splendor of ten million moons. Her form is graceful, with beautiful hips, a slender waist, and lips red as ripe bimba fruit. She is adorned with jeweled armlets, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, and she sits at the center of the rasa circle upon a jeweled throne. For her worship, the mantra should be recited one hundred thousand times, and a tenth part of that number offered with sesame seeds. In the six corners, the six limbs are worshipped; outside that, worship is offered in the eight-petaled lotus. Then, attention is given to the lunar digit, Parijata, and likewise Padmavati. Having honored Indra and the other deities with their weapons, one performs the necessary assignments. She is without qualities, the primal nature, the Lady of Lords, and worthy of Krishna’s worship. May those from the east and every other direction always protect and guard me everywhere. The primordial goddess of Krishna’s power, O auspicious one, is dearer to Krishna than his very life. Having thus entreated and praised the sovereign of all, one should let her return to the heart. After enjoying all pleasures in this world, one ultimately attains Goloka. By worshipping her, the practitioner attains both enjoyment and liberation. This supreme wish-fulfilling mantra, ending with “vahnipriyā,” is to be known. The deity of this mantra is Mahalakshmi, composed of two syllables and six limbs. Her face is slightly smiling and gracious, eager to bestow favor upon her devotees. Meditating thus, one should recite the mantra a hundred thousand times, offering a tenth part in milk-rice. This is done while seated upon a seat endowed with nine powers, together with the limbs and their enclosures. The nine powers are called Vyāṣṭi, Utkṛṣṭi, and Ṛddhi. In the six corners, the six limbs are worshipped; to the south, Gajānana is honored. Then, Umā, Śrī, Bhāratī, Durgā, Dharaṇī, and the Mother of the Vedas are also worshipped. Jahnu’s daughter, the Sun’s daughter—who is ever ready to wash the feet—should be honored as well. In the west, Varuṇa, who holds a parasol, is worshipped. In all the directions and intermediate directions, one should honor Airāvata and other elephants with four tusks. For long life, a man should offer oblations with dūrvā grass moistened with clarified butter. Whoever performs this rite one thousand and eight times will live for a hundred autumns. Beginning from the day of the sun, the practitioner should be anointed with ghee for ten days. One who always offers one thousand and eight oblations with rice grains attains great merit and blessing.
