The Greatness of Puruṣottama
Goloka-tattva and Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa Upāsanā
जज्ञे हिमवतः क्षेत्रे मेनायां पुनरेव च । ततस्तप्त्वा तपो भद्रे शिवं प्राप शिवप्रदा ॥ ३१ ॥
jajñe himavataḥ kṣetre menāyāṃ punareva ca | tatastaptvā tapo bhadre śivaṃ prāpa śivapradā || 31 ||
彼女は再びヒマヴァトの聖なる地に、メーナーの娘として生まれた。ついで、ああ吉祥なる方よ、苦行(タパス)を修してシヴァに到達し、シヴァとの合一を授ける者となった。

It presents rebirth in a sacred Himalayan setting followed by tapas as the means to attain Śiva—highlighting the Purāṇic ideal that sustained austerity, grounded in dharma, culminates in divine union and auspiciousness.
Although the verse centers on tapas, its goal is personal attainment of Śiva, implying one-pointed devotion expressed through disciplined practice—devotion that matures into direct divine proximity.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is directly taught; the practical takeaway is ritual-ascetic discipline (tapas) as a regulated sādhana, consistent with dharma-oriented observances described across Purāṇic practice.
