Translation

Pagkatapos maghandog ng limang uri ng insenso, ihain ang pāyasa (matamis na lugaw) bilang naivedya. Pagkaraan, bilang higit na dakilang handog, ihain ang kaning hinaluan ng gatas-asim, na binasa ng pulot at ghee, upang ganap ang mga upacāra para sa Liṅga—ang hayag na tanda ni Pati na nagpapalaya sa paśu mula sa pāśa.
