The Caturmasya Observances and the Rite of Vishnu’s Sleep (Aśūnya-Śayana) and Shiva’s Monthly Vows
जलकुम्भान् सनैवेद्यान् ब्राह्मणाय निवेदयेत् सोपवीतान् सहान्नाद्यांस्तच्चित्तैस्तत्परायणैः

គួរតែប្រគេនកុម្ភទឹកជាមួយនៃនៃវេដ្យៈ (អាហារបូជា) ដល់ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ ហើយប្រគេនខ្សែសក្ការៈ (ឧបវីត) ផង ដោយរួមទាំងធញ្ញជាតិ និងអាហារផ្សេងៗ—ធ្វើដោយចិត្តផ្តោតលើព្រះអង្គ និងឧទ្ទិសតែព្រះអង្គតែមួយ។

Ritual piety is completed by generosity: giving essentials (water, food, sacred thread) to a worthy recipient is framed as an extension of worship, and the donor’s intention (taccitta, tatparāyaṇa) is emphasized as ethically decisive.
This is dharma/ācāra content (vrata-dāna-vidhi) embedded within Purāṇic discourse, not a cosmological genealogy segment (sarga/vamśa). For cataloging, classify under ‘dharma—dāna and ritual procedure’.
Water-pot gifting symbolizes sustaining life and purity; upavīta symbolizes Vedic order and sacred commitment. The verse links external charity to internal devotion, implying that worship must overflow into social dharma.
