ततः कृच्छ्रव्रतं चक्रे ततः सांतपनं च सा । षष्ठान्नकालभोज्या च सा चाभूद्वत्सरत्रयम्
tataḥ kṛcchravrataṃ cakre tataḥ sāṃtapanaṃ ca sā | ṣaṣṭhānnakālabhojyā ca sā cābhūdvatsaratrayam
Kemudian dia menunaikan nazar Kṛcchra, lalu selepas itu nazar Sāṃtapana. Dia juga menjalani tiga tahun dengan hanya makan pada waktu hidangan keenam, dengan sekatan yang amat keras.
Sūta (narrative continuation)
Type: kund
Scene: A devoted woman performing severe vows: sparse meal at prescribed time, simple garments, prayerful posture near a sacred water-body; attendants or sages observing her discipline.
Steady, escalating austerities—undertaken over years—are portrayed as a path of purification and spiritual power.
The verse continues the tīrtha-context narrative but focuses on the vows rather than naming the site.
Kṛcchra-vrata, Sāṃtapana-vrata, and a prolonged regimen of highly restricted eating.
