thanks for quoting this.
The following is my opinion only, and is not taken from any
authoritative sources.
On a preliminary look at it (from the version present on
granthamandira.org), it looks like the first portion of the 10th
chapter is a chapter on how to make different maalaas, and how to
purify the maalaas. The 10.23 - 10.29 you quoted above seems to be
mantras that are ordained to purify the mala.
There are m number of mantras/other things that our sruthis &
smrithis prescribe to purify n number of things. These
purification rituals do not constitute any "worship" per se.
I also wonder whether there are different versions of the
sanatkumaara samhitha.
I am not translating the slOkhAs given my inadequate knowledge of
samskrit. I will request a learned samskrit scholar I know of to
translate that for us.
