The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
बलिं दत्त्वा निशां नीत्वा संप्रेष्य धनतोषिताम् । भोजयेद्विविधैरन्नैर्ब्राह्यणान्भोजनादिना ॥ ३५ ॥
baliṃ dattvā niśāṃ nītvā saṃpreṣya dhanatoṣitām | bhojayedvividhairannairbrāhyaṇānbhojanādinā || 35 ||
Setelah mempersembahkan bali (persembahan ritual) dan melalui malam itu, hendaklah dia menghantarnya pulang dengan hati puas kerana hadiah kekayaan; kemudian hendaklah dia menjamu para brāhmaṇa dengan pelbagai makanan serta layanan yang wajar.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
The verse emphasizes completing a rite with dharmic closure: offerings (bali), respectful send-off with gifts (dāna), and feeding brāhmaṇas—actions that convert ritual performance into merit through generosity and honoring sacred learning.
Though framed as ritual procedure, it supports bhakti through seva and humility—serving the Lord’s devotees (brāhmaṇas) and practicing giving (dāna), which are traditional devotional expressions in Purāṇic dharma.
It highlights prayoga (applied ritual procedure): sequencing of acts (bali → night observance → gifting → brāhmaṇa-bhojana) and the ancillary duty of bhojana-vidhi/atithi-satkāra, consistent with kalpa-style technical guidance.
