After making my seat in the form of an eight-petalled lotus effulgent with a pericarp and stamens, endowed with the personified deities of religion, knowledge, renunciation and opulence and with my nine spiritual energies, following the regulations of both the Vedas and the tantras, he should offer me water for washing the feet, water for washing the mouth, arghya and other items of worship. By this process he achieves both material enjoyment and liberation. One should offer pādya, ācamana (upasparśa) and arghya (arhanā). But one should first make a yoga-pīṭha of eight lotus petals my sitting place, with dharma, jñāna, vairāgya and aiśvarya in the south-east, south-west, north-west and north-east corners and adharma, ajñāna, avairāgya and anaiśvarya in the east, south, west and north directions. In the center one should place the nine śaktis: Vimalā, Utkarṣiṇī, Jñānā, Kriyā, Yogā, Prahvī, Satyā, Īśānā and Anugrahā. One should offer articles to me for attaining bhukti and mukti (ubhaya-siddhaye), by the methods outlined in the Vedas and tantras.
