Sāmānyapäda 37 The Vedic type of worship is explained by the author following the authority of Bodhāyana. Saivites should meditate upon Siva while Vaişnavites should follow their own principles. In compiling this section the author has' depended upon different authorities like texts on Tantra, Vedic rituals and Saivăgamas. This made clear in the last stanza as follows:
इतीह तत्त्वसागरादितन्त्रचोदितो विधि
स्तथैव वैदिकप्रयोगवृत्तिगृह्यदर्शितः ।
शिवागमोदितश्च यो निरूप्य संप्रदर्शितः,
प्रयोगतस्तु साधकैरलं विषेव्यतां सुखम् ।।
With this section the first quarter of the work called Sāmányapāda comes to an end. The principles given in this section are of a general nature. They are equally applicable to Vedic, domestic and temple rituals in addition to Tantric rites of different kinds.
