चातुर्मास्यव्रतं तेन गृहीतं तत्पुरस्तदा । प्रार्थितस्तु ततो विप्राः शाकल्यस्तैन भूभुजा
cāturmāsyavrataṃ tena gṛhītaṃ tatpurastadā | prārthitastu tato viprāḥ śākalyastaina bhūbhujā
तेथे प्रभूच्या सान्निध्यात त्याने चातुर्मास्य व्रत स्वीकारले. नंतर राजाने ब्राह्मणांना—विशेषतः शाकल्यांना—आवश्यक विधी करण्याची विनंती केली.

Tirtha: Jalaśāyī Hari-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Before the sanctum of Jalaśāyī Hari, the king takes a solemn saṅkalpa for Cāturmāsya; brāhmaṇas stand with darbha, water-pot, and manuscripts, with Śākalya prominent as chief officiant.
Vows (vrata) become spiritually potent when undertaken with humility, in a sacred presence, and supported by dharmic guidance.
The same kṣetra where Jalaśāyī Hari is present; the vow is taken directly before the deity.
Undertaking the Cāturmāsya vow and engaging qualified brāhmaṇas (including Śākalya) for rites.
