भोग की शक्ति वोह है जो तुम्हे सुख देती है। यह कल्पवृक्ष जैसा है जो मन की हर इच्छा पूरी करता है। यह कामधेनु जैसा है जो जो माँगो वोह मिलता है। यह चिंतामणि जैसा है, शंख और कमल जैसा है, नौ खजाने जैसा है। भगवान के भक्त चाहे कोई इच्छा रखें या न रखें, वोह भक्ति से सब काम करते हैं। कोई अग्निहोत्र जैसे हवन करते हैं। कोई योग के आसन और प्राणायाम करते हैं। कोई मंदिर को सजाते हैं, चौबारे और दरवाजे बनाते हैं। कोई मूर्ति की पूजा करते हैं, स्नान करते हैं, त्योहार मनाते हैं। कोई अपने पूर्वजों की पूजा करते हैं। कोई अन्न और पानी भगवान को समर्पित करते हैं। सब यह भगवान को खुश करने के लिए करते हैं।
The power of enjoyment (bhoga-śakti), having the form of enjoyment, is supported by the wish-fulfilling tree, the wish-granting cow, the wish-fulfilling jewel, conch, lotus, treasures and the like—the nine treasures. For the worshippers of the Lord, whether with desire or without desire, endowed with devotion, everything is done for the sake of pleasing the Lord—by daily and occasional rites such as the agnihotra, or by yama, niyama, posture, breath-control, withdrawal, meditation, concentration, and samādhi; or also by adornment, together with gateways, ramparts, aerial mansions and the like; by worship with the implements for image-worship; by rites such as bathing and festival observances; by ancestral worship and the like; or by food and drink and the like.
