यदा तृतीया भाद्रे तु हस्तर्क्षसहिता भवेत् । हस्तगौरीव्रतं नाम तदुद्दिष्टं हि शौरिणा ॥ ३७ ॥
yadā tṛtīyā bhādre tu hastarkṣasahitā bhavet | hastagaurīvrataṃ nāma taduddiṣṭaṃ hi śauriṇā || 37 ||
ভাদ্ৰপদ মাহত তৃতীয়া তিথি যেতিয়া হস্ত নক্ষত্ৰসহ হয়, তেতিয়া সেই ব্ৰত ‘হস্ত-গৌৰী ব্ৰত’ নামে জনা যায়; শৌৰি (শ্ৰী বিষ্ণু) ই নিৰ্দিষ্ট কৰিছে।
Narada
Vrata: Hasta-Gaurī Vrata (hastagaurīvratam)
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It defines the exact sacred timing (tithi–nakṣatra yoga) for the Hasta-Gaurī Vrata, showing that vrata-phala depends on proper dharmic observance aligned with the lunar calendar and nakṣatra.
By stating that the observance is prescribed by Śauri (Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa), the verse frames the vrata as an act of devotion performed in obedience to divine injunction, integrating ritual discipline with bhakti.
Jyotiṣa (Vedic astronomy/astrology): it specifies a ritual rule based on the conjunction of Tṛtīyā tithi with the Hasta nakṣatra, a classic calendrical criterion used to fix vrata dates.
