The Greatness of Fragrant Flowers and Leaves: Prabodhinī (Awakening) Observances and Seasonal Rites
शिशिरे यानि कर्माणि पुष्पिताश्च वनस्पतिः॥ तैरेव चार्चनं कृत्वा जानुभ्यां पतितः क्षितौ॥
śiśire yāni karmāṇi puṣpitāś ca vanaspatiḥ || tair eva cārcanaṃ kṛtvā jānubhyāṃ patitaḥ kṣitau ||
सर्दियों में जो पूजा करनी है, वो करो। फूलों वाले पेड़ इस्तेमाल करो। दोनों घुटनों के बल ज़मीन पर गिर के भगवान को नमन करो।
