Śabarī said: “O God, let my senses be Your flowers; let this body be fragrant incense; let my heart be the lamp. Let my life-breaths be the oblations, and my faculties Your unbroken grains. Now let this very soul depart as the fruit of worship.”
Śabarī
Tirtha: Mānasa-pūjā-kṣetra (inner worship-field)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śabarī, hands folded, speaks a luminous inner-pūjā hymn: flowers become her senses, incense her body, lamp her heart; subtle icons of these offerings appear as symbolic overlays around her, while Śiva’s presence is felt beyond the flames.
The highest worship is inner self-offering—transforming senses, mind, and prāṇa into sacred articles of pūjā for Śiva.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse glorifies the inner sanctuary of the heart where Sadāśiva is worshipped.
It teaches a symbolic ‘mānasa-pūjā’: flowers (senses), incense (body), lamp (heart), oblations (prāṇa), and akṣata (faculties).
