अरुणैः कमलैहुत्वा सर्वसिद्धीश्वरो भवेत् । पूर्वोक्ते वैष्णवे पीठे मूर्तिं संकल्प्य मूलतः ॥ ५२ ॥
aruṇaiḥ kamalaihutvā sarvasiddhīśvaro bhavet | pūrvokte vaiṣṇave pīṭhe mūrtiṃ saṃkalpya mūlataḥ || 52 ||
ఎర్ర కమలాలతో హోమం చేసినవాడు సమస్త సిద్ధులకు అధిపతిగా అవుతాడు. ముందుగా చెప్పిన వైష్ణవ పీఠంలో మూలం నుంచే దేవమూర్తిని సంకల్పించి స్థాపించాలి.

FAQs
The verse links precise ritual offering (red lotus oblations) with inner consecration (mūrti-saṅkalpa), teaching that siddhi arises when external worship and internal intention are aligned in a Vaiṣṇava pīṭha.
Bhakti here is expressed as Viṣṇu-centered worship: the devotee first establishes the Lord’s form in consciousness (saṅkalpa) and then performs offerings, making devotion both meditative and ceremonial.
It highlights ritual-technical procedure—proper homa/offerings and the saṅkalpa-based establishment of a mūrti on a pīṭha—reflecting applied kalpa-style discipline (practical ritual method) within the text’s technical teachings.
