वादित्राणामभावे तु पूजाकाले च सर्वदा । घंटावाद्यं नरैः कार्य्यं सर्ववाद्यमयी यतः
vāditrāṇāmabhāve tu pūjākāle ca sarvadā | ghaṃṭāvādyaṃ naraiḥ kāryyaṃ sarvavādyamayī yataḥ
અન્ય વાદ્યો ન હોય તો પણ, અને પૂજાકાળે સદા, લોકોએ ઘંટ વગાડવો જોઈએ; કારણ કે તે સર્વ વાદ્યોનું સમર્પિત સ્વરૂપ છે.
Deductive: narrative voice of the Dvārakā Māhātmya (commonly Sūta relating the māhātmya to sages)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Inside a Dvārakā shrine, a devotee rings a bronze bell before Hari’s image while lamps flicker; other instruments are absent, yet the sanctum feels filled with sound.
Worship need not depend on elaborate resources; a single sincere upacāra like bell-ringing can stand in for many offerings.
Dvārakā, in whose māhātmya practical temple-worship guidance is given for honoring Viṣṇu/Vāsudeva.
During pūjā, ring the bell especially when other instruments are not available; it is recommended as a constant worship practice.
