“The worship in question was the concluding chapter of Vibhûti-dvadasî ordinance, in the month of Mâgha, which was kept up by a courtezan, named Anamgavatî. At that time, she was giving away the mount of salt, the bedstead along with other things, the decorated image of the merciful Lord Viṣṇu and the golden Kalpa tree, to her preceptor. On seeing all that, you said to yourself, ‘What would I now do with these lotus flowers, I should better offer them to Viṣṇu.’—18-20.
