The Vision of the Lord Granted to Rukmangada
Prepared to Slay His Son
विमोहनं रूपमिदं विडंबनं यद्भूमिपालेन न भुक्तमन्नम् । हरेर्दिने पापभयापहे तु तृणैः समाहं भविता त्रिविष्टपे ॥ १३ ॥
vimohanaṃ rūpamidaṃ viḍaṃbanaṃ yadbhūmipālena na bhuktamannam | harerdine pāpabhayāpahe tu tṛṇaiḥ samāhaṃ bhavitā triviṣṭape || 13 ||
នេះជារូបរាងបំភាន់មួយ—ជាការចំអកពិត—ដែលព្រះរាជា អ្នកការពារផែនដី មិនបានទទួលអាហារ។ តែនៅថ្ងៃបរិសុទ្ធរបស់ព្រះហរិ ដែលបំបាត់បាប និងភ័យបាប ខ្ញុំនឹងក្លាយដូចគំនរព្រៃស្មៅ នៅសួគ៌ ត្រីវិṣṭប។

Kalpa (ritual discipline) is implicit: the verse points to vrata-vidhi—timely observance of Hari’s day with regulated eating/fasting—as a practical dharmic method for purification and merit.
