Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
वीरासनरतैर्नित्यं स्थण्डिले शयनं तथा । शीततोयाग्नियोगश्न चर्तव्यो धर्मबुद्धिभि:
vīrāsanaratair nityaṃ sthaṇḍile śayanaṃ tathā | śītato-yāgni-yogaś ca kartavyo dharmabuddhibhiḥ ||
マハーデーヴァは言った。「常にヴィーラासन（vīrāsana）を好み、同じく裸地に臥して眠れ。ダルマに根ざした理解をもつ者は、さらに『冷水と火』の行を修すべきである。すなわち季節に応じた苦行として、冬の夜は冷水の中に坐すか立ち、雨季には露天に臥し、夏の熱気には『五火』を耐え忍ぶのである。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches disciplined simplicity and seasonal austerity as a dharmic regimen: steady posture (vīrāsana), sleeping on bare ground, and practicing heat-and-cold endurance according to the seasons, cultivating self-mastery and detachment.
Śrī Mahēśvara is instructing about ascetic/forest-dweller conduct, prescribing concrete bodily disciplines and seasonal observances as part of righteous living and spiritual training.
