सरस्वतीतीर्थानुक्रमः — बलरामस्य तीर्थयात्रा
Sarasvatī Tīrtha Itinerary — Balarāma’s Pilgrimage
स एवमभिनिनश्ित्य तस्मिन् कूपे महातपा: । ददर्श वीरुध॑ तत्र लम्बमानां यदृच्छया,इस प्रकार विचार करते-करते महातपस्वी त्रितने उस कुएँमें एक लता देखी, जो दैवयोगसे वहाँ फैली हुई थी
sa evam abhininiścitya tasmin kūpe mahātapāḥ | dadarśa vīrudhaṁ tatra lambamānāṁ yadṛcchayā ||
Setelah meneguhkan keputusan dalam batinnya, sang pertapa agung Trita, ketika berada di dalam sumur itu, kebetulan melihat seutas sulur merambat yang menjuntai ke bawah. Di tengah kesesakan, takdir kadang menghadirkan penopang yang paling tipis—bukan untuk menyerah, melainkan celah bagi ikhtiar dan ketabahan.

Educational Q&A
Even in confinement and despair, one should keep clarity of resolve; unexpected aids may appear, but they become meaningful only when met with courage and effort.
After making a firm decision while trapped in a well, the ascetic Trita notices a vine hanging inside it—an accidental yet providential means that can enable escape or survival.
