[...] Tanks were built for butter, spirituous beverages, sweet juices of various kinds and rice preparations of various sorts. Different kinds of pickles and side dishes were prepared that might appeal to Śiva’s Gaṇas and the gods. Different kinds of valuable garments (amūlya-nānāvastra) purified in fire were kept ready. Gems and jewels of different kinds, gold, silver and other articles were gathered duly. [...]”.
