TRANSLATION
On the southern side of the kitchen were two rooms for offering food, and in one of them the food was offered to Salagrama Narayana.
PURPORT
Among the followers of the Vedic way, the salagrama-sila, the vigraha of Narayana, is worshiped in the form of a stone ball. In India, every brahmana still worships the salagrama-sila in his home. The vaisyas and kshatriyas may also engage in this worship, but it is compulsory in the house of a brahmana.
