In regard to great diseases like leprosy etc. the vow shall first be taken and the sacrifice performed later on. Indigent persons wanting in all these things shall make gift of a lamp to the deity.
If incapable of even that, he shall take bath and make any gift. Or he shall make obeisance to the Sun-god hundred and eight times repeating the mantras.
A devotee shall perform prostrations and obeisance a thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, or a crore in number. All the deities are delighted by the obeisance-sacrifice in this way.
त्वत्स्वरूपेर्पिता बुद्धिर्नतेऽशून्ये च रोचति । या चास्त्यस्मदहंतेति त्वयि दृष्टे विवर्जिता १३४ ।
The intellect, which is in the form of You, does not delight in the void. That intellect which exists in 'I am' (ego) disappears when Your form is perceived.
