Họ dâng lời tán tụng ghi dấu uy lực và vinh quang của Ngài, đồng thanh hô: “Jaya! Jaya!” Rồi họ múa, hòa tấu, ca hát, thổi tù và ốc và đánh trống kettledrum, nhờ đó mà thờ phụng Chúa.
FAQs
This verse lists classical pūjā elements—water, respectful paraphernalia, garlands, fragrant unguents, incense, lamps, grains, unbroken rice, fruits, and sprouts—along with praise and celebratory music, showing that devotion is expressed through both offerings and glorification.
Because the worshipers are celebrating the Lord’s vīrya (valor) and mahimā (greatness); the verse presents kīrtana-like glorification—hymns, ‘jaya’ shouts, singing, instruments, conches, and drums—as integral to honoring Him.
Offer whatever is pure and available with reverence (water, light, fragrance, food), and add heartfelt glorification—chanting, singing, or spoken praise—making worship both simple and joyful.
