Gaṅgā-māhātmya
जातीविजयसंयुक्तं तथा पाटलराजितम् । निचितं कारयित्वैवमावासं पुष्पशोभितम् ॥ ६९ ॥
jātīvijayasaṃyuktaṃ tathā pāṭalarājitam | nicitaṃ kārayitvaivamāvāsaṃ puṣpaśobhitam || 69 ||
Vì thế, ông cho dựng một nơi cư trú—bố trí chỉnh tề và trang hoàng dày đặc—được điểm tô bằng hoa nhài và hoa vijayā, lại rực rỡ bởi hoa pāṭala, khiến chốn ở trở nên lộng lẫy trong hương sắc muôn hoa.
Narada (narrating within a Tirtha-Mahatmya account in Uttara-Bhaga)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It highlights the dharmic principle that sacred acts are supported by careful, beautiful preparation—using pure, fragrant flowers to create an auspicious space conducive to worship and merit (puṇya).
By emphasizing floral adornment and a well-prepared dwelling, it reflects bhakti expressed through loving offerings (upacāra)—beautifying the place of worship as an external sign of inner reverence.
It most closely connects to Kalpa (ritual procedure): arranging the worship-space (āvāsa/maṇḍapa) and selecting auspicious materials like fragrant flowers as part of proper ceremonial preparation.
