Hemādri (on vrata vol. II. pp. 26-36) has an elaborate description of Anantavrata together with the story of Kauṇḍinya and his wife Śīlā told by Kṛṣṇa to Yudhiṣṭhira. Kṛṣṇa states that Ananta is one of his forms and identifies himself with Kāla (Time) that is called Ananta. Ananta should be worshipped with the *upacāras* of sandalwood paste, incense, flowers, naivedya.
