करिष्यामीह तत्सर्वम साध्यमपि साध्यताम् । स्वोरुं निर्मथ्य जनितो येन संवत्सरादहम् । तातोरुणा विहीनोऽपि करिष्ये त्वत्समीहितम्

«Ici, j’accomplirai tout cela ; que même l’impossible en apparence devienne possible. Car je fus engendré en broyant mon propre flanc durant une année entière. Ainsi, même privé de cuisse, j’accomplirai ce que tu désires.»
Pippalāda
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Naimiṣāraṇya ṛṣis (frame)
Scene: Pippalāda, radiant and intense, declares his capacity to accomplish even the impossible; a symbolic vignette shows him performing severe tapas—churning his own thigh—surrounded by a year-cycle motif (sun/moon).
Steadfast resolve (saṅkalpa) and tapas are portrayed as transformative, yet the narrative also warns that such power must be guided toward dharmic ends.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, whose māhātmya uses extraordinary biographies to intensify reverence for the place.
No direct prescription; the verse emphasizes tapas-like endurance (a year-long effort) as narrative background.
