Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections
अरुन्धत्यपि कल्याणी तपोनित्याभवत् तदा । “वे तपस्वी मुनि वहीं आश्रम बनाकर रहने लगे। उस समय कल्याणी अरुन्धती भी प्रतिदिन तपस्यामें ही लगी रही
Arundhaty api kalyāṇī tapo-nityābhavat tadā.
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ໃນເວລານັ້ນ ອະຣຸນທະຕີຜູ້ເປັນມົງຄຸນ ກໍໄດ້ໝັ້ນຄົງໃນຕະປະສະຍາ (tapas) ຢ່າງສະໝໍ້ສະເໝີ. ພວກມຸນີຜູ້ຖືຕະປະສະຍາໄດ້ສ້າງອາສຣົມຢູ່ທີ່ນັ້ນ ແລ້ວພັກອາໄສ. ໃນເວລານັ້ນ ອະຣຸນທະຕີຜູ້ດີງາມ ກໍອຸທິດຕົນໃນຕະປະສະຍາທຸກວັນ ບໍ່ຂາດ.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic steadiness: true virtue is shown through consistent self-discipline (tapas) and unwavering commitment to a righteous way of life, not merely through words or status.
The narrator states that during that period Arundhatī, described as kalyāṇī (virtuous/auspicious), remained continually engaged in austerities—indicating a sustained ascetic mode of living in the hermitage context.
