Eight types of maṅgala (mangala; benedictory signs or objects) have been mentioned in Agnipurāṇa. These are: lion- the king of animals , ox, nāga (in the sense of elephant, hand-fan, kalaśa(pitcher), a victorious garland made of nine kinds of flowers, bherī and dīpa–
mṛgarājaṃ vṛṣam nāgaṃ vyājanaṃ kalaśṃ tathā.
vaijayantīṃ tathā bherīṃ dīpamityamaṣṭamaṅgalam.
But this beatific objects are to be viewed after the reading of Aśvasūkta. So it appears that this ritual verdict is not for the common people. Rather, the list of Aṣṭamaṅgala given in Garuḍapurāṇa is far more human-centric. Here, from the perspective of the society of that time, it is said that– Brāhmaṇa, cow, fire, gold, ghee, Aditya-Sūrya, water and king: these eight elements are considered as Aṣṭamaṅgala–
loke̍smin maṇgalānyaṣṭau brāhmaṇo gorhutāśanaḥ
hiraṇyaṃ sarpirāditya āpo rājā tathāṣṭamaḥ.

Seeing any of these is beneficial, and going around any one of these, is also beneficial.

In Droṇaparva of Mahābhārata, Bhīma, at the time of going to the battlefield, is getting in touch with eight kinds of beatific objects–
ālabhya maṅgalanyaṣṭau pītvā kairātakaṃ madhu.
Here, Nīlakaṭha, the commentator has given a list of eight types of beatific objects, saying that it is an alternative reading of the śloka in Mahābhārata these are: fire, cow, gold, dūrvā, gorocanā, amṛta (here amṛta means ghee– āyuvai ghṛtaṃ– puffed rice, and curd–
analo gohiraṇyañca dūrvāgorocanāāmṛtam
akṣataṃ dadhi cetyaṭau maṅgalāni pracakṣate.
