Kemudian putra raja membuatkan untuk ibunya sebuah kalung yang lebih ringan dan lebih halus. Ia pun menempa enam belas gelang bertatah wajra (intan) untuk kedua tangannya.
Suta (narrative voice within the Purana)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It highlights dharmic intention expressed through respectful gifting—honouring one’s mother and performing acts associated with merit (puṇya) within a mahatmya-style narrative.
While not explicitly devotional, it supports bhakti’s ethical foundation: reverence, gratitude, and selfless service (especially to parents) that purifies the heart and prepares one for devotion to Vishnu.
No direct Vedanga instruction appears; the verse is narrative, illustrating dharma through conduct and gifting rather than technical sciences like Vyakarana or Jyotisha.
