Glory of Puruṣottama: Pañcatīrthī Observance and Narasiṃha Worship
पालाशसमिधं तत्र जुहुयात्त्रिमधुप्लुताम् । द्वेऽयुते कंजनयने शकटश्चैव साधकः ॥ १०० ॥
pālāśasamidhaṃ tatra juhuyāttrimadhuplutām | dve'yute kaṃjanayane śakaṭaścaiva sādhakaḥ || 100 ||
Tại đó, hãy dâng vào lửa những que củi palāśa đã thấm trong ba thứ mật. Ôi Đấng mắt như hoa sen! Khi đủ hai vạn lần cúng hiến, vị sādhaka cũng trở nên trọn vẹn năng lực, như cỗ xe có thể chuyên chở thành quả của nghi lễ.
Narada (teaching in a ritual/mahatmya context; addressing Vishnu as 'lotus-eyed')
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It emphasizes disciplined, counted homa (fire-offering) using specific pure materials (palāśa fuel and tri-madhu), showing that precision and purity in ritual action are themselves a means to spiritual efficacy and merit.
By addressing the Lord as “lotus-eyed,” the rite is framed as an offering to Viṣṇu—turning technical ritual performance into devotional surrender, where repetition and care become an expression of bhakti.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is primary: correct samidh (fuel), correct oblation substance (tri-madhu), and a prescribed numerical count (20,000) reflecting methodical śrauta/smārta-style discipline.
