Srimad Bhagavatam — Ashtama Skandha, Shloka 52
Aditi’s Lament and Kaśyapa’s Instruction of the Payo-vrata (Milk Vow) to Please Keśava
पूजां च महतीं कुर्याद् वित्तशाठ्यविवर्जित: । चरुं निरूप्य पयसि शिपिविष्टाय विष्णवे ॥ ५१ ॥ सूक्तेन तेन पुरुषं यजेत सुसमाहित: । नैवेद्यं चातिगुणवद् दद्यात्पुरुषतुष्टिदम् ॥ ५२ ॥
pūjāṁ ca mahatīṁ kuryād vitta-śāṭhya-vivarjitaḥ caruṁ nirūpya payasi śipiviṣṭāya viṣṇave
当舍弃吝于用财之习，应为住于一切众生心中的毗湿奴（Śipiviṣṭa）举行盛大供奉。以专注之心，将谷物以酥油与乳煮成供品（caru），诵《普鲁沙颂》（Puruṣa-sūkta）而行祭供，并奉上多种滋味的食供（naivedya）；如此便能令至上之普鲁沙欢喜。
