62. But in contemplating other forms for special purposes the attributes of Brahman corresponding to the objects desired are grouped together at their option, as the motive of the earlier stage does not exist.

This is said in the Brihat Tantra; “The contemplation of such qualities as may be favourable to the object desired by each, and the cumulation of such attributes should be made; but in the case of those who are bent upon release and destitute of all desires, meditation of such qualities may or may not be made (at their option) for in their case even that being meant to glorify the Lord, is not objectionable.”

63. The meditation of the gods should be with reference to the limbs on which they depend.

As for the gods, their meditation should have reference to the particular members of the Lord’s Person which form their abode (from which they have also sprung) as (stated in the texts), “From the eye the sun sprang, etc.” (Rv. X-90, 13).

64. And because of the injunction to that effect;

As it is in the Pautrayana Shruti, “Whatever limb each god has for his abode must be contemplated as such and such.”

65. And because of the cumulation (comprehension) spoken of in the Shruti (which declares it).

This rule of meditation for the gods is further confirmed by the statement as to the cumulation (of attributes) in the Kashayana Shruti, thus: “Whoever is desirous of release should comprehend in the Supreme Being, the attributes of the several gods that have been produced from the different limbs of the Lord; and by contemplating those gods as resting on those limbs, he shall attain to the highest place (heaven).”
