Translation

So blieb der König drei Nächte lang—nur sorgfältig geregelte Speise zu sich nehmend—in die Meditation über Pārvatī versunken; und durch rechte Niederwerfungen und mannigfache Lobgesänge erfreute er Gaurī, die den Kummer der Zuflucht Suchenden nimmt.

FAQs

Steady, time-bound discipline (trirātra), meditation, and heartfelt praise draw the compassionate Goddess who relieves the distress of surrendered devotees.

The verse centers on devotion to Gaurī/Pārvatī; the specific locale is implied by the prior mention of Ambikā’s abode rather than named here.

A three-night observance with regulated diet, meditation on Pārvatī, prostrations, and recitation of hymns (stotras/saṃstavas).
