Varaha Purana 123.35: Adhyaya 123, Shloka 35
The Greatness of Fragrant Flowers and Leaves: Prabodhinī (Awakening) Observances and Seasonal Rites
पुष्पाणां च प्रवक्ष्यामि यो गुणो यच्च वै फलम् ॥ दत्त्वा वै गन्धपत्राणि पुष्पहस्तः शुचिर्नरः ॥ ॐ नमो वासुदेवायेत्युक्त्वा मन्त्र मुदीरयेत्
puṣpāṇāṃ ca pravakṣyāmi yo guṇo yac ca vai phalam || dattvā vai gandhapatrāṇi puṣpahastaḥ śucir naraḥ || oṃ namo vāsudevāyety uktvā mantraṃ udīrayet
मैं अब तुम्हे फूलों के बारे में बताऊंगा। फूल कैसे होते हैं और उसका क्या फल मिलता है। जो इंसान साफ हो, वो सुगंध वाले पत्ते भगवान को चढ़ाए। हाथ में फूल लेकर ओम नमो वासुदेवाय बोलना चाहिए। फिर आगे का मंत्र पढ़ना चाहिए।
