At the time of longing, as declared by the gods, one should offer jaggery accompanied by something to lick. When the star Anurādhā is ascendant, the belly should be worshipped, and rice that has matured for sixty days is to be given. In the presence of Viśākhā, honor is paid to the pair of arms, and at such a time, excellent rice pudding is the fitting offering. When Punarvasu reigns, the fingers are to be revered, and snake-gourd is offered to satisfy the longing. During Jyeṣṭhā, the neck is the focus of worship, and sesame-sweet rice pudding should be given. In the star Puṣya, one should worship the mouth and offer rice cooked with ghee and milk. All these offerings are made for the pleasure of Keśava and should also be given to a Brāhmaṇa. Especially pleasing to the enemy of Madhu is rice of red śāli mixed with priyangu. When the best part of the deer, the eyes, is honored, deer meat is the appropriate offering at the time of longing. Under Bharaṇī, the head should be worshipped, and fine cooked rice offered. Brahmins should be fed with devotion, and during their cravings, ginger mixed with jaggery is given. Afterwards, gifts are presented to them, and fine garments are provided for both women and men. The wise one also presents a vessel filled with ghee to the Brahmin. Such a person, who performs these rites, is regarded as composed of the stars and eternal. This sacred observance was first performed by Bhrigu and is known to destroy all sins. As a result, beautiful offspring are born, and all their limbs are well-formed. Keśava destroys all inauspiciousness that arises from both father and mother, granting boundless joy of mind and exceedingly splendid form. When worshipped, Janārdana, lord of the stars, bestows these blessings. It is told that Arundhatī, greatly fortunate, attained supreme fame by worshipping Govinda and thereby obtained Revanta as her son. King Pūruvāḥ, too, achieved supreme beauty and a prosperous kingdom. All those who worshipped the lord of the stars, endowed with form, attained the happiness they desired. Now, listen to the supreme ordinance of the lord of the stars concerning pilgrimage. Once, Arundhatī worshipped Janārdana on the eighth day of the month of Caitra. At that time, Prahlāda, lord of the Daityas, journeyed to Kurukṣetra. Inviting the sacred presence, he bathed according to the Vedic procedure, performing all the necessary rites of purification before approaching the lion among men. Meanwhile, one Dānava traveled to Gokarṇa, and another Daitya went eastward to seek Kāmeśvara. Prahlāda himself journeyed to the great waters to see Puṇḍarīka. He worshipped Puṇḍarīka and stayed there for three days. After bathing at Kṛṣṇatīrtha, the pure-hearted Prahlāda remained for three nights. Then, he traveled to Akhaṇḍa on the river Payoṣṇī to have the Lord’s darśan, and from there, the wise one proceeded to Kumārila on the Vitastā. Wherever worship was performed, the destruction of sin was accomplished, for these acts were done for the delight of the gods and the welfare of the world, which he himself had created. Having duly eaten curd, Prahlāda then went to Maṇimanta. There, after bathing at the excellent tīrtha of Prajāpati, the great-minded one beheld Śambhu, Brahmā, the Lord of gods, and Prajāpati. Having stayed there for six nights, he continued his sacred journey to Madhunandinī.
