The sacred procedure begins with reverence for the Vedas—the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda—and their auxiliary texts. Their lineage is honored with heartfelt salutations, setting the tone for the ritual. Following this, the prāpaṇa is offered, accompanied by appropriate mantras and rituals. Once the prāpaṇaka has been given, water is offered for sipping, signifying purity and readiness for worship. All knowledge, the essence of Brahman, the Brahmins, the planets, rivers, and oceans are invoked, acknowledging their presence and sanctity. The sacred thread is addressed with prayers for length, restraint, and desire-restraint, accompanied by the recitation of 'Om' and salutations to Purushottama. After these praises and salutations, pure devotees are honored. The Brahmins are then worshipped and nourished with rice pudding and similar auspicious foods. Sprinkling is offered to the Lord, which is said to be a form of worship, along with gifts such as rings, garments, honors, and other offerings. The goddess is assured that by these acts, the Lord is truly worshipped, without any doubt. The Lord declares that he will destroy those opposed, speaking this truth to the goddess. Those who perform these rituals remain in his worlds for thousands of years, and through their devotion, both their paternal and maternal lineages are liberated. The Lord then promises to reveal the procedure for his installation in a silver image, marking the conclusion of the chapter concerning the installation of a bronze image. Śrī Varāha continues, describing the qualities required for the image: it must be tightly joined, flawless, perfectly finished, bright as the moon, smooth, blemish-free, and auspicious. Once such an image has been crafted with devotion to the rites, it should be brought into the house with auspicious praises and blessings. The mantra 'Om' is invoked, honoring the Lord who is worthy of offerings, worship, and honor in all worlds—even among the gods. He shines as the lord of sacrifice at sunrise, and his ritual is the agnihotra. Using the mantra 'manda' and the invocation to the one whose form is beginning, middle, and end, a well-bathed and adorned person should place the image facing east. When the nakshatra of embrace is present and the sign of Cancer ascends, the consecration should be performed according to the prescribed ritual, preceded by mantras. The image is adorned with medicinal herbs and decorated with mango leaves, made pleasant and delightful under the guidance of the guru. A mantra is recited, praising the sole creator and overseer of all worlds, whose form is the form of all forms. With the mantra 'Salutations to the infinite,' and when the directions are auspicious, the image is brought to the threshold. After establishing it according to the prescribed ritual, the image is anointed and placed according to proper procedure. Another mantra is recited: water is taken from the Ganges and other rivers, and from the oceans, and the image is bathed according to ritual before being brought inside the house. The Lord is honored as one known through the Vedas, worshipped by those who know the Vedas, whose essence is sacrifice, and who grants the fruits of sacrifice. Offerings of wealth, silver, and gold are made, accompanied by the mantra 'Salutations to the infinite,' following the previously mentioned method. Blue garments and beloved ornaments of the Lord are given, and with the invocation 'Salutations to Narayana,' the devotee expresses his wish as desired. A mantra is recited, describing the Lord as shining with the radiance of moonbeams, his color matching that of the conch and jasmine. His form is beautiful, endless, immortal, destroyer, cause, easily attained yet hard to attain, excellent and radiant. With a mind joined in devotion, the prāpaṇa is offered to the Lord. The mantra 'Salutations to Nārāyaṇa' is recited, and the Lord is addressed: 'O Lord, O Ananta, O Supreme Person, accept this prāpaṇa.' For the welfare of all worlds, the peace invocation is recited. The ritual acknowledges night, the two twilights, stars, planets, and directions. Salutations are offered to the unmoving, the moving, those moving with others, the sky-movers, the swift, the lotus-radiant, and the arisen—all those established as Vāsudeva. Finally, the devotees are worshipped according to one's means and ability, completing the sacred installation and honoring of the divine image.
