On an auspicious Tithi after Svastivāchana, the devotee should arrange for the Ritvikas, pandal, articles, ornaments, clothings as before and invoke Lokapālas as is done in the Tulādāna. Then Kalpalatās (creepers yielding all desires) of gold should be made and they should be adorned with various fruits, flowers and kinds of birds, couples of Vidyādharās, pairs of golden birds, Siddhas culling flowers and fruits. Birds should be made along with the images of the ascetics living only on fruits ; as well as the images of the Devas the attendant of the Lokapālas should also be made.—4-5.
