Perfumes and incenses are two of five accessories of religious worship; others being 笔耻峁�p补, 顿墨辫补 and Nivedya. Worshipping gods with perfumes and incenses is generally considered as a way for achieving the four ends of human life or 笔耻谤耻峁Ｄ乺迟丑补鈥�Dharma, Artha, 碍腻尘补 and 惭辞办峁�a. Even though perfumes are one of the accessories of worship, it is interesting to note that perfumes have a presiding deity.

In 碍腻濒颈办腻辫耻谤腻峁嘺^[1], a number of verses are devoted to the description of different sorts of perfumes and incenses used in the worshipping of different deities. The text records five sorts of perfumes. They are C奴r峁嚹玨峁泃a, Dh峁涐梗峁環a, D膩h膩kar峁�ita, Sammardaja and Pr膩峁噛a峁単odbhava. Of these C奴r峁嚹玨峁泃a is powdered perfume. Powdered leaves of cinnamon are an example. Sandal wood is an example for Dh峁涐梗峁環a type perfume. D膩h膩kar峁�ita is obtained through burning aromatic substance like Aguru etc. Sammardaja is produced by crushing perfumed seeds of Tila etc. Pr膩峁噛a峁単odbhava are organic products like musk. Five kinds of incenses also are mentioned there. They are 狈颈谤测腻蝉补, 笔补谤腻驳补, 碍腻峁ａ弓丑补, 碍峁泃谤颈尘补 and Gandha. As per the information given in this 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, different gods or goddesses are to be worshipped with different varieties of perfumes and incenses. Thus it is stated that 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is to be worshipped with Malayaja (Sandal) and should not be worshipped with Yak峁�adh奴pa (Incense of Cencilya). Goddess 颁补峁囜笉墨 and 罢谤颈辫耻谤腻 should be pleased with 碍耻峁卥耻尘补, Aguru, 碍补蝉迟奴谤墨 etc. Incense made of K峁涐梗峁嚹乬uru and 碍补谤辫奴谤补 are good for pleasing goddess 惭补丑腻尘腻测腻. White incense of 闯腻迟颈 and 础办峁�a is favourite of goddess 碍腻尘别艣惫补谤墨. It is believed that one who worships gods with inhaled perfumes will be sent to the hell by gods. It is also suggested in 笔耻谤腻峁嘺s that incense should be given in an incense burner and should not be placed in a pot or on earth.

罢谤补颈濒辞办测补辫谤补办腻艣补^[2], a treatise on astrology refers to 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 (Jupiter) as the presiding planet for perfumes, while 骋补峁単腻诲丑补谤补^[3] begins his work 骋补苍诲丑补蝉腻谤补 with a salutation to the semi divine god 骋补苍诲丑补测补办峁�a. But we don鈥檛 have any reference to such a deity anywhere except in 骋补苍诲丑补蝉腻谤补.
