The Bestowal of Boons upon Aṅga
हुताय हुतभोक्त्रे च हवीरूपाय ते नमः । बुद्धाय बुधरूपाय सदाबुद्धाय ते नमः
hutāya hutabhoktre ca havīrūpāya te namaḥ | buddhāya budharūpāya sadābuddhāya te namaḥ
Verehrung Dir als Opfergabe, als Genießer der Opfergabe und als die Gestalt der Opferdarbringung selbst. Verehrung Dir als dem Erwachten, als dem Weisen in der Form des Intellekts, und als dem ewig Wachen, ewig Erleuchteten.
Unspecified (a hymn-style salutation within the narrative context of Bhūmi-khaṇḍa)
Concept: The Supreme is immanent in the entire sacrificial process—oblation, offering, and enjoyer—while also being the ever-awake intelligence behind all cognition.
Application: Offer daily actions (food, work, study) as ‘huta’ to the Lord; cultivate ‘sadā-buddha’ awareness by pausing before actions and mentally dedicating them to Viṣṇu.

FAQs
It teaches divine immanence: the Lord is present as the offering (hutā/havis), the receiver/enjoyer (hutabhoktṛ), and the very sacrificial process—collapsing the subject–object divide of ritual into a single sacred reality.
These epithets praise the deity as awakening itself (buddha), as wisdom/intellect embodied (budha-rūpa), and as eternally awakened (sadā-buddha), presenting the divine as the source and perfection of consciousness.
It encourages reverence and mindfulness: treat worship and daily actions as sacred offerings, and cultivate steady clarity and wakefulness of mind, since the divine is honored as both ritual action and awakened awareness.
