当再三观想那位神祇：左侧拥持吉丽迦（Girijā，帕尔瓦蒂），常为诸悉地者（Siddha）所赞颂。随后，王啊，先当奉献给商婆（Śambhu，湿婆）以足洗水（pādya）与供敬水（arghya）。

FAQs
Devotion unites contemplation (dhyāna) with reverent service (upacāra), honoring Śiva as the divine householder with Girijā.
No specific tīrtha is stated; the emphasis is on the standard etiquette of Śiva worship.
After meditating on Śiva with Girijā, first offer pādya (water for the feet) and arghya (honor-offering) to Śambhu.
