Encoded and proofread by DPD Sunder Hattangadi
1. Complete Works of Adi Shankaracharya does not
have the work with the title of parA pUjA and the
attribution may be misrepresented.  However, it is
found in print.
2. The 1st eight shlokas in identical sequence form
the first part of his work titled nirguNamAnasapUjA.
3. The variations have been gathered from different sources.
Some variations have been noted in different publications
eg bR^ihatstotraratnAkara, parA pUja with Hindi commentary by
Sw. Vidyananda Sarasvati (Arya Samaj, Hindouna City, Rajasthan),
another with Hindi commentary by Babu Jalim Singh, Samata Books, etc.
4. Verses 4, 7, and 9 form the main variants. 9 appears from
Yoga Vasishtha.  In some print, the AtmA tvaM girijAmatiH sahacharAH
verse from shivamAnasapUjA is also added.
5. Considering 16 processes, as ShoDashopachAra, these are just the
questions asked and attributes of the Supreme and cannot be
considered Puja as such.
