Được hoan hỷ bởi các nghi lễ như abhiṣeka (tắm rưới thánh thủy), homa (cúng lửa) v.v., Đức Chúa trở thành Đấng ban cho các điều mong cầu, khi được thờ cúng bằng trái cây, hoa và các phẩm vật khác. “Om, kính lễ Bhagavat Varāha, Chúa tể của Bhūr, Bhuvaḥ và Svaḥ; xin ban cho con vương quyền (quyền làm chúa tể mặt đất); (lễ hiến này) vì trái tim—svāhā.” Ai hằng ngày trì tụng thần chú năm phần (pañcāṅga) này mười nghìn lần thì được trường thọ và quyền uy.

It exemplifies the Agni Purana’s manual-like coverage of applied religious technologies—specific mantras, offerings, japa-counts, and expected outcomes—alongside its wider subjects (statecraft, iconography, medicine, poetics), making it a compendium of actionable disciplines.
The verse frames ritual purity and devotion (abhiṣeka–homa–japa with offerings) as generating divine satisfaction (tuṣṭi) that ripens into merit and worldly boons—especially longevity and legitimate sovereignty—through disciplined repetition and correct rite.
