Dvaravati Sila - Scriptural Sanctions

Scriptural Sanctions

There are several schools of thought among the learned acharyas of the Vaishnava cult on the worship of this Sila. This Sila is worshipped, along with or independent of Sila (murthi) or Saligrama Sila, in some parts of the country (among Vaishnavites of Saurashtra, Bengal and Maharashtra; the Madhva sect in Karnataka), particularly in the Vaishnava tradition. It is worshipped along with the Sila| Saligrama Sila (stone) since scriptures consider it auspicious to do so. According to Skanda Purana, wherever Dvaraka Sila is placed in front of the Sila|, every class of magnificence goes on increasing unlimitedly. Skanda Purana also says that one who daily worships Dvaraka Sila along with twelve Saligrama Silas will be honored even in Vaikuntha.
