Glory of Puruṣottama: Pañcatīrthī Observance and Narasiṃha Worship
कल्पवृक्षं ततो गत्वा कृत्वा तं त्रिः प्रदक्षिणम् । पूजयेत्परया भक्त्या मंत्रेणानेन तं वटम् ॥ २३ ॥
kalpavṛkṣaṃ tato gatvā kṛtvā taṃ triḥ pradakṣiṇam | pūjayetparayā bhaktyā maṃtreṇānena taṃ vaṭam || 23 ||
Rồi, đến cây Kalpavṛkṣa ban điều như ý, hãy đi nhiễu quanh ba vòng. Hãy thờ phụng cây đa ấy với lòng bhakti tối thượng, bằng chính thần chú này.
Narada (teaching in a Tirtha/Vrata-vidhi sequence; dialogue tradition with Sanatkumara brothers in Book 2 contexts)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It frames sacred-tree worship as a complete devotional act: approaching the holy tree, performing three clockwise circumambulations, and offering puja with mantra—linking external rite to inner bhakti.
Bhakti is emphasized as the core (parayā bhaktyā): the ritual actions (going, pradakshina, puja) become spiritually effective when performed with wholehearted devotion and mantra-focused reverence.
Ritual procedure (Kalpa) is implied: the prescribed count (three pradakshinas), clockwise movement (pradakṣiṇā), and mantra-application in worship—core elements of practical vaidika/paurāṇika vidhi.
