Scene: A fire altar glows; guggulu pellets are offered as daśāṃśa into the flames. Siddhi-Vināyaka is worshipped with flowers; later, under moonlight, the sādhaka approaches a fierce yet benevolent yakṣa-guardian at the kṣetra boundary for night pūjā.
FAQs
Completion of worship includes both divine invocation (Vināyaka) and honoring protective guardians (kṣetrapāla) for wholeness and safety.
A specific tīrtha is not named; the verse alludes generally to a sacred precinct guarded by a kṣetrapāla.
Perform a one-tenth homa with pellets, worship Siddhi-Vināyaka, and then conduct nighttime worship of the kṣetrapāla.
