तयात्मभूतया पिण्डे व्याप्ते सम्पूज्य तन्मयः । आवाह्यार्चादिषु स्थाप्य न्यस्ताङ्गं मां प्रपूजयेत् ॥
tayātmabhūtayā piṇḍe vyāpte sampūjya tanmayaḥ | āvāhyārcādiṣu sthāpya nyastāṅgaṃ māṃ prapūjayet ||
With the body pervaded by that (presence), which has become his own self, absorbed in it, he should worship; then, inviting me and establishing me in the image, with nyāsa on its limbs, he should worship me fully.
उस (जीव-कला) से, जो उसकी अपनी आत्मा बन गई है, शरीर के व्याप्त होने पर, तन्मय होकर पूजा करे; फिर मूर्ति आदि में आवाहन करके, स्थापित करके, अंग-न्यास करके मेरी भली-भाँति पूजा करे।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Worship moves from inside out: first feel the divine within, then see the same presence in the image before you.
पूजा भीतर से बाहर की ओर चलती है: पहले भीतर ईश्वर को अनुभव करें, फिर वही उपस्थिति सामने की मूर्ति में देखें।
Krishna (Bhagavata 11.27.24) continues: when that presence pervades the body, the worshipper, absorbed in it, worships him inwardly, then invokes him into the image and worships him there.
