tulasyā adhikaṃ proktaṃ dalaṃ śrīvṛkṣasaṃbhavam | tasmānnityaṃ prayatnena pūjanīyaḥ sadā'cyutaḥ
तुळशी—श्रीवृक्षातून उत्पन्न पान—अत्यंत श्रेष्ठ असे सांगितले आहे; म्हणून नित्य प्रयत्नपूर्वक सदैव अच्युत प्रभूची त्याने पूजा करावी।
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narrative style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Acyuta (Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa) is worshipped at a shrine with a prominent tulāsī vrindāvan; a devotee offers a single tulāsī leaf, shown as more radiant than heaps of other flowers; the verse’s ‘adhika’ idea is visualized by the leaf glowing.
FAQs
Worship becomes especially potent when offered with Tulāsī, and steady daily devotion to Acyuta is praised.
Dvārakā is the broader sacred setting of this chapter’s instructions.
Offer Tulāsī leaves in worship and maintain regular, effortful pūjā of Acyuta.
