दुर्वासा उवाच । साधयिष्याम्यहं मन्त्रमभीष्टं कमपि व्रती । तस्य सिद्धिकृते ब्रूहि विधानं शास्त्रसंभवम्
durvāsā uvāca | sādhayiṣyāmyahaṃ mantramabhīṣṭaṃ kamapi vratī | tasya siddhikṛte brūhi vidhānaṃ śāstrasaṃbhavam
Durvāsas sprach: „Ich, der Gelübde hält, wünsche ein begehrtes Mantra zu vollenden. Sage mir das in den Śāstras gegründete Verfahren, durch das jenes Mantra zur Vollkommenheit gelangt.“
Durvāsā
Listener: Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta’s father)
Scene: Durvāsas, austere and radiant, addresses Lomaharṣaṇa in an āśrama, asking for the scriptural procedure to perfect a desired mantra; his posture is firm, eyes intense, yet reverent to śāstra.
Even powerful ascetics seek mantra-siddhi through śāstra-based discipline rather than mere impulse.
The site is not named in this verse; it leads into the glorification of Camatkārapura and Citreśvarīpīṭha.
A request is made for the proper vidhāna (procedure) for mantra-siddhi; details follow in subsequent verses.
