चैत्रशुक्लाष्टमीं यावत्स्यंदनाश्वादिसूदनम् । चैत्रशुक्लनवम्यां तु सौमित्रेः शक्तिभेदने
caitraśuklāṣṭamīṃ yāvatsyaṃdanāśvādisūdanam | caitraśuklanavamyāṃ tu saumitreḥ śaktibhedane

Even the righteous may be tested through sudden calamity; dharma responds through courage, service, and timely aid.
No tīrtha is specified in this verse; it documents sacred time (tithi) within the Purāṇic retelling.
