अष्टम्यां च चतुर्दश्यामुभयोरपि पर्वणोः । संकल्पं विधिवत्कृत्वा प्रातःस्नानं समाचरेत्
aṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśyāmubhayorapi parvaṇoḥ | saṃkalpaṃ vidhivatkṛtvā prātaḥsnānaṃ samācaret
अष्टमी व चतुर्दशी—या दोन्ही पर्वतिथींना—विधिपूर्वक संकल्प करून प्रातःस्नान करावे।
Muni (blind sage; contextual)
Listener: Śārada
Scene: A devotee performs saṅkalpa at dawn on aṣṭamī and caturdaśī, then undertakes the morning bath as part of the vow cycle.
A vow becomes spiritually effective through deliberate intention (saṅkalpa) and purity practices like ritual bathing.
No named tīrtha; the act is general and can be performed wherever proper practice is possible.
On Aṣṭamī and Caturdaśī, make saṅkalpa properly and perform prātaḥsnāna (morning bath).
