Seasonal Devotional Procedure
यत्तु पृच्छसि सुश्रोणि मासे वैशाख उत्तमे ॥ शुक्लपक्षे तु द्वादश्यां यत्फलं तच्छृणुष्व मे ॥
yattu pṛcchasi suśroṇi māse vaiśākha uttame || śuklapakṣe tu dvādaśyāṃ yatphalaṃ tacchṛṇuṣva me ||
Was aber du fragst, o Schönhüftige: im vortrefflichen Monat Vaiśākha, am zwölften Tag (dvādaśī) der hellen Monatshälfte—höre von mir die Frucht (jener Observanz).
Varāha (instructor; implied continuation; vocative addressed to the inquirer)
It shows the dialogic pedagogy of Purāṇic literature: the teacher frames the next instruction by restating the question and specifying calendrical parameters (Vaiśākha, bright fortnight, dvādaśī).
No geographic location is named; the verse specifies ritual time rather than place.
The verse underscores attentive listening and structured learning—receiving guidance about practice and its consequences within a teacher–inquirer dialogue.
