माघमासं प्रयागे तु नियत: संशितव्रत:
māghamāsaṃ prayāge tu niyataḥ saṃśitavrataḥ
“မాఃဃလတွင် ပရယာဂ၌ ငါသည် စည်းကမ်းတကျ တည်ကြည်စွာ နေထိုင်၍ ခိုင်မာ၍ သတ်မှတ်ချက်ပြတ်သားသော ဝရတ (vrata) ကို စောင့်ထိန်းခဲ့သည်။”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic self-discipline: undertaking a strict vow (vrata) at a sacred place and time (Prayāga in Māgha) as a means of ethical purification and accumulation of merit through regulated conduct.
The speaker, Ajadriya, is describing his own observance—staying at Prayāga during the Māgha month while maintaining strict restraints and a firm vow—likely as part of a broader account of vows, tīrtha-observances, or merit-producing practices discussed in the Anuśāsana Parva.
