________________ Notes 125 are enumerated in a Guj. couplet thus: "8919, raama, buhall, 44, E14, 121812; 2424'3 Bed, tall, 2424 uzrazila " The object of performing this. Eight-fold Worship is explained in an another couplet which says : " 619-2692 slph, f04-2019 auf$12; 3lpen $1207 ha, ao you BELZ." Thus the object. of performing the Eight-fold Material Worship is. to enliven in our hearts a feeling for Spiritual Worship consisting of a Pure Mental Condition. Thus water among the eight things indicates that we are to make our soul pure. Sandal ointment indicates that just as it makes things crol and fragrant, in the same way we are to make our soul equanimous and virtuous as well as virtue-loving. Flowers indicate that we are to make our mind and soul as fragrant ( i. e. virtuous) and beautiful (i. e. pure) as a flower. Incense, indicates that just as fire burns fuel, in the same way by pure meditation, we are to destroy all our karmas. The lamp indicates that. just as it destroys darkness and gives light, in the same way by destroying our ज्ञानावरणीयकर्मs, we are to destroy our ignorance and obtain Omniscience. Rice with unbroken ends indicate that by this worship we shall obtain uninterrupted and indestructible bliss (i. e. Moksha ). Offering of sweet things, etc. ('naivedya') indicates that.
