An abhiṣeka-ceremony requires a special maṇḍapa-pavilion, seed-offerings, the presence of the Ananta-form of Viṣṇu, a fire, sanctified vessels placed according to specific instructions, ten kinds of flowers, several fruits, spices, grains, gems, etc. (2-40). The 12 prepared pots of water necessary for the drenching ceremony are then turned over to the ācārya who must await the auspicious moment to commence the actual abhiṣseka-ceremony (41-49). After the ceremony all—including Brahman as, Kṣatriyas, Vaiśyas and Śūdras—must prostrate before the idol (50-50).
