तुलसीपत्रहोमेन महतीं कीर्तिमाप्नुयात् । शाल्युत्थसक्तुहोमेन वशयेदखिलं जगत् ॥ ८३ ॥
tulasīpatrahomena mahatīṃ kīrtimāpnuyāt | śālyutthasaktuhomena vaśayedakhilaṃ jagat || 83 ||
Sa pag-aalay ng mga ahuti ng dahon ng tulasī sa banal na apoy, nakakamtan ang dakilang katanyagan. Sa pag-aalay ng harina ng inihaw na butil na mula sa bigas, napapasailalim sa impluwensiya ang buong daigdig.

It assigns specific fruits (phala) to specific homa-dravyas, emphasizing that sacred offerings—especially tulasī, revered in Vaiṣṇava practice—produce tangible merit such as renown and social-spiritual influence.
Tulasī is a hallmark of Viṣṇu-bhakti; offering tulasī in homa frames devotion as an actionable ritual expression where reverence becomes a disciplined sacrificial act yielding auspicious results.
It reflects Kalpa (ritual procedure) by prescribing dravya-specific homa and stating their phala, illustrating the technical mapping of materials, rite, and result used in Vedic ritual science.
