आरोग्य की पूर्ण सिद्धि के लिए दुग्ध से महेश्वरी का अभिषेक करे; ऐश्वर्य-सिद्धि के लिए त्रिविध मधुर द्रव्यों से; प्रीति और प्रसाद के लिए नारियल-जल से; नृपकृपा/राज-सम्बन्ध की प्राप्ति के लिए हिम-शीतल जल से; और सर्वार्थ-सिद्धि हेतु वाद्य-तौर्य के साथ महेश्वरी का अभिषेक करना चाहिए।

It frames abhiṣeka as a precise, intention-aligned ritual: specific substances and accompaniments are matched to specific outcomes, showing how devotion is expressed through disciplined, goal-focused worship.
Bhakti here is practical and embodied—honoring Maheśvarī through offerings, bathing, and celebratory music—where reverence is shown by carefully chosen upacāras rather than mere sentiment.
Ritual-technical know-how is emphasized: choosing dravya (materials) and prayojana (intended result) for a rite—an applied, procedural approach aligned with śrauta/smārta-style ritual logic.
