Adhyaya 16 — The Son’s Counsel on Renunciation and the Anasuya–Mandavya Episode: The Suspension of Sunrise and the Power of Pativrata
पुत्र उवाच तथेत्युक्ते तया सूर्यमाजुहाव तपस्विनी ।
अनसूयार्घ्यमुद्यम्य दशरात्रे तदा निशि ॥
putra uvāca tathety ukte tayā sūryam ājuhāva tapasvinī /
anasūyārghyam udyamya daśa-rātre tadā niśi
পুত্ৰে ক’লে—সেয়ে ‘তথাস্তু’ বুলি কোৱাৰ লগে লগে সেই তপস্বিনীয়ে সূৰ্যক আহ্বান কৰিলে; তাৰ পাছত দশৰাত্ৰি-কালত ৰাতি অনসূয়াই অৰ্ঘ্য অৰ্পণ কৰিলে।

Ritual respect (arghya) and disciplined observance are depicted as channels through which tapas engages cosmic powers responsibly, not merely as displays of force.
Ācāra (ritual practice) embedded in narrative; ancillary to the five characteristics, serving as dharma-instruction within story.
Offering arghya to Sūrya signifies aligning personal prāṇa with the solar principle; performing it at night underscores tapas as mastery over ordinary temporal conditions.
