Kaśyapa Muni continued: By chanting all these mantras, welcoming the Supreme Personality of Godhead with faith and devotion, and offering Him items of worship [such as pādya and arghya], one should worship Keśava, Hṛṣīkeśa, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Translation
Honoring the Lord by these mantras one should call the Lord and with faith then worship him by offering foot water, ācamana and other items.
Honoring (puraskṛtam) the Lord by calling for him using these mantras, or putting the Lord in front of oneself (puraskṛtam), and calling him, one should then worship the Lord by offering foot water and ācamana (upasparśanam).
Personal Guidance
Chanting these mantras, welcoming with faith and devotion, offering pādya and arghya — worship Keśava, Hṛṣīkeśa, Kṛṣṇa. Worship has steps; sequence matters. Faith without method, or method without faith, both fail.
Reflection Questions
- Does my worship currently have method, or just feeling?
- Where would adopting clear steps transform what has become vague spiritual habit?
