Omens and Consolation after Loss; Reaffirmation of the Saindhava Punishment Vow (उत्पात-दर्शनम्, आश्वासन-वाक्यानि, प्रतिज्ञा-स्थैर्यम्)
त्वया हरक्ता गमिष्यामि धेनुकाश्रममुत्तमम् | तत्र तप्स्थे तपस्तीव्रं तवैवाराधने रता,आपकी आज्ञा लेकर मैं उत्तम धेनुकाश्रमको चली जाऊँगी और वहाँ आपकी ही आराधनामें तत्पर रहकर कठोर तपस्या करूँगी
tvayā hṛtā gamiṣyāmi dhenukāśramam uttamam | tatra tapṣṭhe tapas tīvraṁ tavaivārādhane ratā ||
With your permission, I shall depart for the excellent Dhenukāśrama. There I will undertake severe austerities, remaining wholly devoted to worship of you alone—seeking inner discipline and fidelity to the one I revere rather than worldly gain.
