Accordingly, 鈥淸...] at the end of every five hundred thousand Japas, the aspirant shall perform Mah膩bhi峁ka and Naivedya. He shall worship devotees of 艢iva for gratifying 艢iva. 艢iva becomes delighted at the worship of the devotee (艣颈惫补产丑补办迟补). There is no difference between 艢iva and the devotee of 艢iva. He is 艢iva Himself. The mantra is of the nature of 艢iva. By holding the mantra the physical body of the devotee becomes identified with 艢iva. Devotees of 艢iva (艣颈惫补产丑补办迟补) know all the rites, nay all the Vedic rites. The more an aspirant repeats the mantra of 艢iva, the greater is the presence of 艢iva in his body.
