We have 3 Hiranyagarbha Salagrama-s at our house for which my husband performs thirumanjanam daily with milk, tirtham, etc.; in the previous issue of Sudarshanam, it was mentioned Salagrama deities should be in numbers of one, four, and so on. Please clarify.

If there are 3 Hiranyagarbha Salagrama deities, one deity should be treated as a prominent deity and the other two should be treated as ancillaries. Thiruvaradhanam can be done to the prominent deity until the Salagrama count reaches four. Then special thriuvaradhanam can be done for all the four deities.
