ततो जलाशमा वायुभोजनाहारवर्जिता । सच्चिदानन्दसन्दोहं ध्यायत्यात्मानमात्मना ॥ ३७ ॥
tato jalāśamā vāyubhojanāhāravarjitā | saccidānandasandohaṃ dhyāyatyātmānamātmanā || 37 ||
त्यानंतर ती तहान व श्रम यांपासून मुक्त झाली; वायूलाच भोजन मानून सामान्य आहाराचा त्याग केला. आत्म्याने आत्म्यालाच सच्चिदानंद-समूहस्वरूप म्हणून ध्यान करू लागली।
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, describing the contemplative discipline)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It presents a moksha-oriented discipline where austerity supports inward contemplation, culminating in meditation on the Atman as sat-cit-ānanda—pure Being, Consciousness, and Bliss.
While framed as jñāna-yoga and dhyāna, it complements Vishnu-bhakti by emphasizing inner purity and one-pointedness—qualities that stabilize devotion and remembrance of the Supreme Self.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is yogic discipline—regulated āhāra (diet/fasting) and dhyāna as a method for inner realization.
