Text 72] The Advent of Lord Caitanya 91
PURPORT
Tulas7 leaves and Ganges water, with, if possible, a little pulp of sandalwood, is
sufficient paraphernalia to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord
says in Bhagavad-gitd:
patram puspam phalam toyarn
yo me bhaktyé prayacchati
tad aharm bhakty-upahriam
asnami prayatatmanah
“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, 1 will ac-
cept it.” (Bg. 9.26} Following this principle, Advaita Prabhu pleased the Supreme
Personality of Godhead with tu/as7 leaves and water of the Ganges.
