Havis should be prepared to be in five different colors. Such havis, payasa and other eatables should be
offered in due order. The measure of rice should be one drona, half of one drona or one quarter of a drona.
Of the items mentioned, either one, two or three or all the items may be offered. Again, havis should be
offered in a specific way in one session. The pure food(simple and umixed cooked rice, suddha annam)
should be in twice the measure mentioned before. These are the general details applicable to all the
temples. Thus, nine categories of worship have been told. Details concerned with each ritual are now
explained.
