उष्णीषममलं छत्रं पादुके चाप्युपानहौ । धारयेत्पुष्पमाल्ये च सुगंधं प्रियदर्शनः ॥ २१ ॥
uṣṇīṣamamalaṃ chatraṃ pāduke cāpyupānahau | dhārayetpuṣpamālye ca sugaṃdhaṃ priyadarśanaḥ || 21 ||
Ang debotong kaaya-ayang pagmasdan ay magsuot ng malinis na putong at magdala ng payong; gumamit din ng sandalyas at sapatos, at magsuot ng kuwintas na bulaklak na may kaaya-ayang halimuyak.
Sanatkumāra (in instruction to Nārada, within āchāra/vrata guidance)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches śauca (purity) and sadācāra (refined conduct): maintaining cleanliness and dignified appearance is presented as an outward support for inner discipline and devotional reverence.
Bhakti is expressed not only through prayer but also through respectful, pure living—wearing clean clothing, garlands, and fragrance as offerings of one’s person and presence in a devotional life.
While not a technical Vedāṅga lesson, it reflects Kalpa-style ritual decorum (ācāra) and śauca principles—practical rules of conduct that support worship and vrata observance.
