तत्र तीर्थेऽश्विनौ देवौ सुरूपौ भिषजां वरौ । तपः कृत्वा सुविपुलं संजातौ यज्ञभागिनौ
tatra tīrthe'śvinau devau surūpau bhiṣajāṃ varau | tapaḥ kṛtvā suvipulaṃ saṃjātau yajñabhāginau
នៅទីធម៌សក្ការៈ (ទីរថ) នោះ ព្រះអស្វិនទាំងពីរ មានរូបសម្បត្តិស្រស់ស្អាត ជាវេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតដ៏ប្រសើរ បានបំពេញតបៈយ៉ាងមហិមា ហើយដោយហេតុនោះ បានទទួលភាគក្នុងយជ្ញា ជាអ្នកទទួលបូជា។

Austerity (tapas) performed at a sacred place is portrayed as transformative, conferring both spiritual stature and ritual entitlement.
Āśvina Tīrtha, where the Aśvins are said to have practiced tapas.
No direct prescription; it describes tapas leading to ‘yajña-bhāga’ (a rightful share in sacrificial offerings).
