The following is my opinion only, and is not taken from any authoritative sources. On a preliminary look at it (from the version present on granthamandira.org), it looks like the first portion of the 10th chapter is a chapter on how to make different maalaas, and how to purify the maalaas. The 10.23 - 10.29 you quoted above seems to be mantras that are ordained to purify the mala. There are m number of mantras/other things that our sruthis & smrithis prescribe to purify n number of things. These purification rituals do not constitute any "worship" per se. I also wonder whether there are different versions of the sanatkumaara samhitha. I am not translating the slOkhAs given my inadequate knowledge of samskrit. I will request a learned samskrit scholar I know of to translate that for us. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, varadhan ------------------------ Yahoo!
