कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

Flowers rendered to be unsuitable by hairs , worms and insects, which have withered and dried , the
flowers which have fallen on the ground of their own accord and the flowers which have become damaged
should be abandoned. The sadhaka should never worship the Linga with the buds; never offer the foods
which have not been cooked well.

फलानामप्यलाभे तु तृणगुल्मौषधीरपि॥ ६२
ओषधीनामलाभे तु भक्त्या भवति पूजितः।

If suitable flowers are not available here, he may worship with the leaves; if even the leaves are not available,
he may worship al least with fruits; even if fruits are not available, he may worship with grass, leaves of
bushes, herbs and such other things. Even if the herbs and others are not available, he can simply worship
the Lord mentally, being with devoted heart .
प्रत्येकमुक्त पुष्पाणां दश सौवर्णकं फलम्॥ ६३
स्वर्णाद्दशगुणं रत्नं माणिक्यादि नवोद्भवम्।
स्रग्ग्रन्थितेषु तेष्वेव द्विगुणं फलमश्नुते॥ ६४

Flower made of gold yields the fruit which is ten times greater than the fruit granted by each flower mentioned
before. Flower made of each gem of the nine gems, diamond others, will yield fruit which is ten times greater
than the fruit given by the gold flower. If the flowers mentioned earlier are offered after making them as
garlands, the sadhaka would derive the fruit which is twice the fruit attainable with those flowers.
आत्मारामोद्भवैः पुष्पैः अथवा वनसंभवैः।
द्रव्यक्रीतैः प्रसूनाद्यैः अर्चयेद् अन्यथा न च॥ ६५
ātmārāmodbhavaiḥ puṣpaiḥ athavā vanasaṁbhavaiḥ|
dravyakrītaiḥ prasūnādyaiḥ arcayed anyathā na ca|| 65
The sadhaka should worship the Lord with the flowers collected from his own garden or with the flowers
blossomed in the forest. He should not worship with the flowers and other materials bought for money.
