वादित्राणामभावे तु पूजाकाले च सर्वदा । घंटावाद्यं नरैः कार्य्यं सर्ववाद्यमयी यतः
vāditrāṇāmabhāve tu pūjākāle ca sarvadā | ghaṃṭāvādyaṃ naraiḥ kāryyaṃ sarvavādyamayī yataḥ
جب دوسرے ساز میسر نہ ہوں، اور پوجا کے وقت ہمیشہ، لوگوں کو گھنٹی بجانی چاہیے؛ کیونکہ گھنٹی کی ندا میں گویا تمام سازوں کی نذر سمٹ آتی ہے۔
Deductive: narrative voice of the Dvārakā Māhātmya (commonly Sūta relating the māhātmya to sages)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Inside a Dvārakā shrine, a devotee rings a bronze bell before Hari’s image while lamps flicker; other instruments are absent, yet the sanctum feels filled with sound.
Worship need not depend on elaborate resources; a single sincere upacāra like bell-ringing can stand in for many offerings.
Dvārakā, in whose māhātmya practical temple-worship guidance is given for honoring Viṣṇu/Vāsudeva.
During pūjā, ring the bell especially when other instruments are not available; it is recommended as a constant worship practice.
