स्नात्वा तत्रैव विधिवच्छांडिल्यं यः प्रपूजयेत् । ऋषिपंचम्यां विधिना नारी चैव पतिव्रता । स्पृष्ट्वास्पृष्ट्वा विमुच्येत रजोदोषभयाद्ध्रुवम्

Setelah mandi di situ menurut aturan, sesiapa yang memuja Ṛṣi Śāṇḍilya dengan sempurna—maka pada hari Ṛṣi-pañcamī, seorang isteri yang setia (pativratā) yang melaksanakan upacara menurut tata tertib, dengan menyentuh lalu menyucikan berulang kali, pasti dibebaskan daripada ketakutan akan kenajisan yang berkaitan dengan haid.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Śāṇḍilyā-vāpī (at Nārāyaṇa-tīrtha)
Type: kund
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: At a carved stepwell, a pativratā woman on Ṛṣi-pañcamī bathes and offers flowers/water to a sage-icon of Śāṇḍilya; attendants hold vessels; repeated ritual touching and rinsing is depicted as careful, reverent action.
Ritual purity and disciplined observance (vrata) are portrayed as means to remove fear and restore confidence in dharmic life.
The bathing-place and worship context tied to Nārāyaṇa-tīrtha and the Śāṇḍilyā vāpī (associated with Śāṇḍilya).
Snāna at the site, vidhivat worship of Śāṇḍilya, and observance of Ṛṣi-pañcamī with prescribed rite, aimed at alleviating rajas-doṣa related fear.
