We are using Shankha for every thing during the puje since we are worshipping Shri Hari through Lakshmi (RamA devi) only. As the famous song sung by shri purandara dAsaru:

 

Enu dhanyalO lakumI Entha mAnyalO, sAnurAghadhindha hariya,

at this time chant verses from four vedas, upanishath, ithihAsas, and purAna are also chanted.

 

dAsa sAhithyas can also be sung.

 

shanka pramanam

 

chant this manthra while moving the shanka in the clock wise direction:

 

dhusTa yakSha pishAcha dhuRdhaRshana nivRuthyaRTham shankha bhramaNam kariShye thava bhramAsa aashuyA pathanthi anuspRusha dhRShathA shOshuchAna: thapUmShyagnE juhvA viShvagulkA:

 

keep the shanka thIrtha seperately in another vessel. This thIrtha is used for prokshana (when partaking the thIrtha at the end).

 

ramA nEivEdhya

 

Sri JayathIrtha did not expilicitely say offer naidedya to ramA devi et al. He has only said offer thIrtha, gandhA and thulasi. However naivedya to ramA, mukya prAna et al is offered in our puja tradition. This is usually offered after completing the pUja to Sri Hari. So we have given the procedure for that below since Sri JayathIrtha has mentioned about them at this time.

 

Take some of the naivedya offered to the Lord and make five small parts in a another plate. Offer thIrtha, gandha, akshate, thulasi to ramA devi (shanka), mukya prAna, garuda, sesha et al. Then do prokshana to the food, sathyam thatvena parishinAmi, and put some thIrtha on the food and offer it to ramA et al. chant the following sloka:

 

ramA brahmAdhayO dhEvA: sanakAdhyA: sukAdhaya:

shrI nRusimhA (or Krishna) prasAdhO ayam saRvE gRuhNanthu vaiShNavA:

 

Offer thIrtha (once) and thulasi again to ramA et al after naivedya.

 

(It is said that ramaa neivedhya should be discarded and not to be consumed by devotees. We don't know why and we request knowledgeble persons to explain).
