एकादश्यां महाराज निराहारो जितेन्द्रियः । यस्तत्र जागरं कृत्वा लिंगस्याग्रे सुभक्तितः
ekādaśyāṃ mahārāja nirāhāro jitendriyaḥ | yastatra jāgaraṃ kṛtvā liṃgasyāgre subhaktitaḥ
हे महाराज! एकादशीच्या दिवशी जो निराहार राहून इंद्रिये जिंकतो आणि तेथे शिवलिंगासमोर शुद्ध भक्तीने रात्र जागरण करतो—
Pulastya (deduced from immediate continuation in 35.1: 'Pulastya uvāca')
Self-restraint—fasting, sense-control, and devotional vigil—becomes a powerful means of purification when performed at a sanctified Śaiva site.
The passage belongs to the Kṛṣṇa-tīrtha context in Arbuda Khaṇḍa (Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa), where worship before a liṅga at the tīrtha is praised.
Ekādaśī upavāsa (fasting), jitendriyatā (sense-control), and jāgaraṇa (night vigil) before the Śiva-liṅga.
