अनया त्वर्ककुंडेस्मिन्पुष्ये मासि रवेर्दिने । स्नातं त्वनुदिते सूर्ये शीतादक्षुब्धचित्तया
anayā tvarkakuṃḍesminpuṣye māsi raverdine | snātaṃ tvanudite sūrye śītādakṣubdhacittayā
तिने या अर्ककुंडात, पुष्य मासात, रविवारी—सूर्योदयापूर्वी स्नान केले; आणि थंडीनेही जिचे चित्त विचलित झाले नाही.
Śrī Devī (Pārvatī)
Tirtha: Arkakuṇḍa
Type: kund
Scene: Before sunrise in Puṣya month on a Sunday, a devotee bathes in Arkakuṇḍa; mist rises, cold air bites, yet the mind remains steady and undisturbed.
Steadfastness in dharma—performing sacred acts with composure and endurance—magnifies the sanctity of tīrtha-practice.
