Jvāleśvara on the Narmadā
सुतं संचिंत्यमाना सा पतिता धरणीतले । काचित्सुवर्णवर्णाभा नीलरत्नैर्विभूषिता
sutaṃ saṃciṃtyamānā sā patitā dharaṇītale | kācitsuvarṇavarṇābhā nīlaratnairvibhūṣitā
Sedang ia tenggelam memikirkan puteranya, dia pun jatuh ke tanah. Seorang wanita lain, berwajah keemasan, berhias permata biru.

Concept: At the moment of crisis the mind clings to its strongest attachment (here, the child); therefore cultivate higher attachment—remembrance of the Lord—through practice.
Application: Notice what your mind runs to under stress; train it daily with nāma, stotra, and vrata discipline so the reflex becomes divine remembrance.
