Puṣkara Sacrifice: Gāyatrī’s Marriage, Sāvitrī’s Wrath, Rudra’s Test, and the Tīrtha-Māhātmya
मया दत्तं चिरस्थायि अभंगं च भविष्यति । एवमुक्त्वा तदा ब्रह्मा समाप्तिं तामवैक्षत
mayā dattaṃ cirasthāyi abhaṃgaṃ ca bhaviṣyati | evamuktvā tadā brahmā samāptiṃ tāmavaikṣata
„Was ich verliehen habe, wird lange bestehen und ungebrochen bleiben.“ So sprach Brahmā und blickte dann auf den Abschluss dieser Angelegenheit.

Concept: A divine grant aligned with dharma is meant to endure; sacred institutions and vows gain strength through truthful, sanctioned speech.
Application: Make commitments carefully and keep them; build practices (japa, seva, vrata) that are ‘abhaṅga’—unbroken by mood or circumstance.
