In worshiping the deity forms, my dear Uddhava, bathing and decoration are the most pleasing offerings. For the deity traced on sacred ground, the process of tattva-vinyāsa is most dear. Oblations of sesame and barley soaked in ghee are the preferred offering to the sacrificial fire. Worship consisting of offering arghya is preferred for the sun. One should worship me in the form of water by offering water itself. Actually, whatever is offered to me with faith by my devotee—even if only a little water—is most dear to me. One should worship forms on the ground (such as vastu-puruṣa-maṇḍala), simply by placing the devatās of the principle limbs in particular places using specific mantras. In that worship one does not offer ornaments and other items. One worships the Lord in fire by offering sacrificial items like sesame, soaked in ghee. One worships the Lord in the sun by performing arghya offerings (abhyarhaṇam). One worships the Lord in water by offering water and other items.
