On the mode of worship leading to Samipya Mukti (remaining near the Deity, one of the four states of liberation or Mukti).
Now the worship leading to Smipya Mukti (remaining in the vicinity of God, one of the four states of liberation) is being described. The firmminded devotee is to meditate first of all Sri Krsna, the Paramatma (the Highest Spirit) then to worship Him in his own body intelligently and devotedly with many articles, argbyas, (offering of worship, rice and Doob-grass) and other numerous ingredients.

He will then prepare a level piece of ground (for sacrifice) and plaster it with cow dung wash and put sand on it. He will next place kusga (blades of special grass) uttering Sankha mantra and then purify it. (2)
Note:—Sankha mantra. These are to be learnt from a practical man.
Then taking sandalpaste and Atap rice, throw it with Hrday mantra (i.e. uttering Namah) and with every letter of that mantra the intelligent devotee is to sprinkle with clear water every part of his body up to his head. (3)
Thus the devotee, knowing the mantra is to worship in order Agni, Indra, and Moon with water from pitha éankha (conch shell) and then show lights to them in order. (4)
Then invoke by Tirtha mantra the tirthas from the solar
sphere and shew Galini mudra to Hari within one’s heart and on the tuft of hair on the head. (5)
Then inspect that water with Nayana mantra and nullify with miilamantra by Covering it with one’s hand. Then perform Anganyasa and make Digbandhan (close all the quarters) with Astra mantra (repeating the word Phat). (6)

mantra of one’s own will, that is purified by the materials Atap rice etc., (Aksata). Then tnrow the materials on this water and sprinkle one’s own body by the particles of this water. (7)
Before the commencement of worship the devotee is to collect flowers, sandalpaste etc. How to fill the couchshell with water is now explained, though it is a secret. (8)
O Ganga ! Yamuna !| Godavari ! Sarasvati ! Narmade ! Sindhu ! Kaveri ! come and stay in this water. (9)
The joining the little fingers of both the hands and thumb of both the hands, learn the Tirtha mantra that destroys all miseries. (10)

Then worship the Supreme Spirit and Ganapati on the top of the head and on the Méila-cakra, perform Nyasa according to Pitha mantra and then offer water, sandalpaste, rice, flowers, and scents, Dhiy and light. (12)
Then uttering the Mila mantra (the original mantra) worship the Luminous and mediate on Sri Krsna, the Supreme Spirit three times who is luminous like lightning. and Who is the only Joy and Bliss, at the three places muladhara (saral plexus), heart and within the eye brows. (13)
Then arranging duly ll Vibhuti, anka and all others by Tattva Yaga, several articles of worship viz water, sandalpaste, the bedding and other precious things. (14)
Worship again the flute of Sri Krsna’s mouth ! and the garland of forest flowers on Sri Krgna’s breast and above that the kaustubha gem marked with Sri Vatsa sign. (15)

the forehead; the learned devotee should then meditate on the seed mantra of Narayana like a Flame within his heart, curing one of ailevils. (16)
Repeat the seed mantra five times and put two Tulasi leaves and flowers with folded hands on the lotus feet and two fragrant oleanders on the breast ; and put two lotuses on the head and then complete the worship by putting six flowers on the entire body. (17)
On the right side offer white flowers purified with sandalpaste and on the left side offer red flowers as above. (18)
So offer with devotion dhip (scents), and light to Sri Krgna as well the sweet syrap, as well the napkins with scents and flowers for wiping His mouth and then worship Him. (19)
Offering betel leaves, singing, dancing, offering, Naivedyas (food ete.,) should be done to please Him and then offer one’s own self (Atma) repeating the mantra Brahmarpanam etc. (20)
Or if the devotee wants to finish his work briefly, he would then perform it according to the Mirti Panjara laya pooja, and then uttering the eighteen lettering mantra, he is to complete the yaugik worship. (21)
Then meditate Sri Krgna, the son of Nanda and repeat this mantra. Puraka is to be performed as many times corresponding duly to the number the mantra is muttered. (22)
Mattering the Vija mantra with m in the begiming and in the end one hundred eight times, the highly intelligent devotee
should perform yoga as verbally spoken to him by his Guru,
Then uttering the japam of Paramatma which consists of sat cit and Ananda, make japam of the above two mantras. (23)
He who worships this in the aforesaid form, is honoured amongst mankind ; he gets full favour of Sri Lakgsmi Devi (gets Jots of wealth) and in the end attains Mukti. (24)
This ends the Sixth Adhyaya in the Third Night in Sri Narada Paficaratra.
