The Bestowal of Boons upon Aṅga
हुताय हुतभोक्त्रे च हवीरूपाय ते नमः । बुद्धाय बुधरूपाय सदाबुद्धाय ते नमः
hutāya hutabhoktre ca havīrūpāya te namaḥ | buddhāya budharūpāya sadābuddhāya te namaḥ
Sembah sujud kepada-Mu sebagai persembahan korban, sebagai penerima dan penikmat persembahan, dan sebagai rupa persembahan suci itu sendiri. Sembah sujud kepada-Mu sebagai Yang Tersedar (Buddha), sebagai kebijaksanaan dalam rupa buddhi, dan sebagai Yang sentiasa jaga serta tercerahkan.
Unspecified (a hymn-style salutation within the narrative context of Bhūmi-khaṇḍa)
Concept: The Supreme is immanent in the entire sacrificial process—oblation, offering, and enjoyer—while also being the ever-awake intelligence behind all cognition.
Application: Offer daily actions (food, work, study) as ‘huta’ to the Lord; cultivate ‘sadā-buddha’ awareness by pausing before actions and mentally dedicating them to Viṣṇu.

FAQs
It teaches divine immanence: the Lord is present as the offering (hutā/havis), the receiver/enjoyer (hutabhoktṛ), and the very sacrificial process—collapsing the subject–object divide of ritual into a single sacred reality.
These epithets praise the deity as awakening itself (buddha), as wisdom/intellect embodied (budha-rūpa), and as eternally awakened (sadā-buddha), presenting the divine as the source and perfection of consciousness.
It encourages reverence and mindfulness: treat worship and daily actions as sacred offerings, and cultivate steady clarity and wakefulness of mind, since the divine is honored as both ritual action and awakened awareness.
