Preparation for Sthūla dhyāna: stable posture, appropriate clothing, and preliminary ritual (pūjā). Meditation is not an isolated act but the culmination of preparation.

Pūjā — ritual worship — purifies the mind and space. It prepares the field for meditation, marking the transition from the mundane to the sacred.

“Well covered” suggests protection from external distractions and maintaining body warmth during meditation.
