अपूपलक्षहोमे तु भवेद्वैश्रवणोपमः । क्रुद्धस्य सन्निधौ राज्ञो जपेदष्टोत्तरं शतम् ॥ ८१ ॥
apūpalakṣahome tu bhavedvaiśravaṇopamaḥ | kruddhasya sannidhau rājño japedaṣṭottaraṃ śatam || 81 ||
اپوپ (مقدّس کیک) کی ایک لاکھ آہوتیوں کا ہوم کرنے سے سادھک ویشروَن (کُبیر) کے مانند دولت مند ہوتا ہے؛ اور غضبناک بادشاہ کے حضور منتر ۱۰۸ بار جپ کرنا چاہیے۔

It links precise ritual action (lakṣa-homa) and disciplined recitation (108-japa) with tangible outcomes—prosperity like Kubera and protection in hostile royal situations—showing the Purana’s technical, results-oriented ritual theology.
While primarily ritual-technical, it implies bhakti through faithful dependence on mantra and sacred offerings: devotion expressed as disciplined practice that seeks divine order and protection rather than mere confrontation.
It highlights prayoga-style ritual procedure: homa with specified count (lakṣa) and japa with a standard sacred number (108), reflecting technical application of mantra-counting and ritual performance used in Vedic sciences.
