Many acts relating to God, like building temples, digging tanks are performed. While executing them,
there would be many difficulties. There would come also several kinds of dishonour. Not minding any
of these, they would complete their tasks with mental one-pointedness removing impurities from their
minds and letting the mind wander. By straightening their mind, they acquire mind control and at the end,
they realise the Reality that is to be known. Digging tanks, building temples and such other acts are called
poorttam. The performance of sacrifices, etc., is known as ishtam. Combining these two, we have
the word Ishtapoortam.
