The Account of Hanumān
मणिपात्रेषु संवेष्ट्थ पूगखंडान्सुधूपितान् । अकोणान्वर्तुलान्स्थूलानसूक्ष्मानकृशानपि ॥ १७५ ॥
maṇipātreṣu saṃveṣṭtha pūgakhaṃḍānsudhūpitān | akoṇānvartulānsthūlānasūkṣmānakṛśānapi || 175 ||
மணிபோன்ற பாத்திரங்களில் நறுமணம் கொண்ட பாக்குக் துண்டுகளை நன்றாகச் சுற்றி வைத்து அளிக்க வேண்டும். அவை கூர்மையான மூலைகள் இன்றியும், வட்டமாகவும், தடிமனாகவும், மிகச் சிறியதல்லவும், மிக மெலிந்ததல்லவும் இருக்க வேண்டும்॥ ১৭৫ ॥
Narada (teaching in a technical/ritual instruction context, traditionally within Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue flow)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It emphasizes śuddhi (purity) and saṃskāra (proper preparation) of ritual materials—offerings should be clean, well-scented, and aesthetically appropriate, reflecting inner discipline and reverence in worship.
Bhakti is expressed through careful, respectful service (upacāra) in worship—selecting and preparing offerings attentively is a concrete form of devotion that trains the mind toward steadiness and sincerity.
It reflects kalpa-type procedural knowledge: practical standards for selecting and preparing dravya (ritual substances), including dhūpana (fumigation with incense) and auspicious physical characteristics of offerings.
