TEXT 204

pāka-śālāra dakṣiṇe—dui bhogālaya
eka-ghare śālagrāmera bhoga-sevā haya


SYNONYMS

pāka-śālāra dakṣiṇe—on the southern side of the kitchen; dui bhoga-ālaya—two rooms for offering food; eka-ghare—in one room; śālagrāmera—of Lord Śālagrāma; bhoga-sevā—offering of food; haya—there is.


TRANSLATION

On the southern side of the kitchen were two rooms for offering food, and in one of them the food was offered to Śālagrāma Nārāyaṇa.


PURPORT

Among the followers of the Vedic way, the śālagrāma-śilā, the vigraha of Nārāyaṇa, is worshiped in the form of a stone ball. In India, every brāhmaṇa still worships the śālagrāma-śilā in his home. The vaiśyas and kṣatriyas may also engage in this worship, but it is compulsory in the house of a brāhmaṇa.
