2. Flower offering: handle matters beautifully like the flower, being liked by those who sees you, having a body that exudes fragrance, filled with the joy of truth.
3. Light offering: possess bright eyes, career or business without obstacles, right view and understanding, complete wisdom.
4. Treasure offering: eradicate negative karma, peace of mind, longevity of life, staying far from the evil path.
