चक्रे पूजां स्वयं तस्य स्नापयित्वा यथाविधि । बलिपूजोपहारांश्च विधानेन प्रयच्छति
cakre pūjāṃ svayaṃ tasya snāpayitvā yathāvidhi | balipūjopahārāṃśca vidhānena prayacchati
Ngài tự mình cử hành lễ thờ phụng Ngài ấy, tắm gội thần tượng đúng theo nghi thức, rồi dâng bali, các nghi lễ tôn kính và những upahāra khác theo đúng pháp định.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration in Nāgarakhaṇḍa)
Type: temple
Scene: Garuḍa personally performs Śiva worship: ritual bathing (abhiṣeka) of the deity, then bali offerings and formal honors (upahāras) in exact prescribed sequence.
Devotion becomes complete when love is joined to vidhi—careful, scripturally aligned worship offered directly to the deity.
Within this Tīrthamāhātmya, the liṅga-site of the chapter is praised as a place where proper pūjā and snāpana yield heightened merit.
Snāpana/abhiṣeka “as per rule,” and the offering of bali, pūjā-honors, and upahāras according to prescribed procedure.
