Skanda (deduced)
Scene: A lamp is waved in circular motion before the deity/altar; flames reflect on brass vessels; seven small heaps/bowls of grains are arranged in a neat pattern beside flowers and water-pot.
Light (agni) symbolizes divine presence; offerings like grains express gratitude and sustenance as sacred.
The verse is part of a general tīrtha-rite instruction; it does not name a particular location.
Perform ārati with ‘Agnir jyoti’ and prepare an offering of seven grains with the mantra ‘Aham asmi’.
