The intelligent devotee should meditate upon that form of the Lord whose color is like molten gold, whose four arms are resplendent with the conchshell, disc, club and lotus flower, and who is always peaceful and dressed in a garment colored like the filaments within a lotus flower. His helmet, bracelets, belt and fine arm ornaments shine brilliantly. The symbol of Śrīvatsa is on his chest, along with the glowing Kaustubha gem and a garland of forest flowers. The devotee should then worship that Lord by taking pieces of firewood soaked in the sacrificial ghee and throwing them into the fire. He should perform the ritual of āghāra, offering two portions of ghee. According to the order of offering items in deity worship, he should then offer various items of oblation drenched in ghee using the sixteen verses of Puruṣa-sūkta along with the mūla-mantra of the deity, adding agnaye sviṣṭi-kṛte svāhā. The devotee should throw wood soaked (abhighṛtāni) in ghee into the fire. He should offer two portions of ghee for the two āghāra oblations. Then, with each verse of the puruṣa-sūkta (sixteen verses) he should offer sesame and other items soaked in ghee, according to the order (yathā nyāyam) of offering deity items (such as āsana, pādyam etc). He should say agnaye sviṣṭi-kṛte svāhā with each verse.
