उपवासपरः पार्थ तथैव हरिवासरे । तिलहोमी तिलोद्वर्ती तिलस्नायी तिलोदकी
upavāsaparaḥ pārtha tathaiva harivāsare | tilahomī tilodvartī tilasnāyī tilodakī
О Партха, преданный посту — особенно в день Хари, — следует совершать хому с кунжутом, натирать тело кунжутной пастой, омываться с кунжутом и употреблять кунжутную воду в обрядах.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (the vocative ‘Pārtha’ is retained from the received verse-formula)
Tirtha: Tilādeśvara-tīrtha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārtha (royal listener)
Scene: A fasting pilgrim prepares a small homa with sesame; another rubs sesame paste on the body before bathing; ritual vessels hold sesame-infused water; the river and liṅga shrine frame the practice.
Integrating vrata (fasting) with tangible offerings and purificatory acts transforms ordinary substances like sesame into vehicles of devotion.
The practices are framed within the Tilādeśvara tīrtha-māhātmya of the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Upavāsa on Hari-vāsara, tila-homa, tila-udvartana (sesame rub), tila-snānā, and tilodaka (sesame-mixed water) usage.
