तां च संस्मरतस्तस्य प्रतिज्ञां पूर्वसंचिताम् । हृदयं दह्यते तस्य दिवानक्तं द्विजोत्तमाः
tāṃ ca saṃsmaratastasya pratijñāṃ pūrvasaṃcitām | hṛdayaṃ dahyate tasya divānaktaṃ dvijottamāḥ
そして彼が、以前に立てて固く胸に蓄えていたその誓いを思い起こすたび、彼の心は昼も夜も焼けつくようであった。おお、最勝の二度生まれの者たちよ。
Narrator addressing listeners (dvijottamāḥ)
Tirtha: Saptaviṃśati-liṅga-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvija-uttamāḥ (vocative in verse)
Scene: Caṇḍaśarmā sits wakeful, day and night indicated by sun and moon motifs; a subtle flame-like aura near the heart symbolizes burning resolve; distant silhouettes of liṅga shrines call him onward.
A true vow creates inner urgency; remembrance of dharma becomes a purifying ‘fire’ that drives one to completion.
The context remains Sarasvatī-tīra and its associated liṅga-darśana circuit, motivating the pilgrim’s practice.
No new rite; it emphasizes fidelity to a previously undertaken vrata.
