Brahmā’s Puṣkara Sacrifice: Ṛtvij System, Sāvitrī’s Reconciliation, Tīrtha-Catalogue, Śrāddha & Initiation Rites, and Vrata Fruits
न च ते विप्रियं देवि विविक्तं कर्तुमीहते । मुखं प्रेक्ष्य सदा कालं वर्तते तव सुंदरि
na ca te vipriyaṃ devi viviktaṃ kartumīhate | mukhaṃ prekṣya sadā kālaṃ vartate tava suṃdari
Wahai Dewi, dia tidak berhasrat melakukan apa pun yang akan membuatmu tidak berkenan, walau dalam kesendirian. Wahai jelita, dia menghabiskan waktunya dengan sentiasa memandang wajahmu.
Unclear from the single verse (context needed; likely a narrator describing someone’s conduct while addressing Devī/Parvatī).
Concept: Pleasure of the revered (devī/consort) is protected through restraint in private and sustained respectful attention.
Application: Cultivate speech and actions that do not wound trust when unobserved; practice mindful attention—‘seeing the face’ as a metaphor for remembering the beloved deity/ideal throughout the day.
