Kṛṣṇa Arrives at Kuṇḍina and Abducts Rukmiṇī
Rukmiṇī-haraṇa Prelude
अद्भिर्गन्धाक्षतैर्धूपैर्वास:स्रङ्माल्यभूषणै: । नानोपहारबलिभि: प्रदीपावलिभि: पृथक् ॥ ४७ ॥ विप्रस्त्रिय: पतिमतीस्तथा तै: समपूजयत् । लवणापूपताम्बूलकण्ठसूत्रफलेक्षुभि: ॥ ४८ ॥

ルクミニーは水、香、アクシャタ(割れていない穀粒)、香煙、衣、花鬘、首飾りや装身具、さまざまな供物と施し、さらに灯明の列をもって女神を礼拝した。夫あるバラモンの婦人たちも同じ品々で同時に供養し、塩味の供物、アプーパ菓子、整えたタンブーラ、聖糸、果物、甘蔗の汁を捧げた。
The verse lists water, fragrances, unbroken grains (akṣata), incense, garments, garlands, ornaments, many offerings and bali-oblations, and rows of lamps arranged separately.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates these details to Mahārāja Parīkṣit while describing the events surrounding Rukmiṇī and Kṛṣṇa in Vidarbha.
It highlights attentive, orderly worship—offering what one can with cleanliness, fragrance, light, and reverence—cultivating devotion through thoughtful service rather than mere formality.
