ମହାଦେବ କହିଲେ—ଯୋଗକୁ ନେଇଯାଉଥିବା ଯଥୋଚିତ ଅନୁଶାସନ ସହ ମନକୁ ଏକାଗ୍ର କରି ସାଧନାରେ ତତ୍ପର ରହୁ। ଗ୍ରୀଷ୍ମରେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବାନପ୍ରସ୍ଥ ପଞ୍ଚାଗ୍ନି-ତପ ଆଚରଣ କରୁ। ହଠଯୋଗରେ ପ୍ରସିଦ୍ଧ ମଣ୍ଡୂକ-ଯୋଗର ନିୟମରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବିଧିମତେ ନିରନ୍ତର ଲାଗି ରହୁ। ଏବଂ ଯାହା କିଛି ଗ୍ରହଣ କିମ୍ବା ଉପଭୋଗ କରେ, ସେସବୁ ନ୍ୟାୟ ଓ ମର୍ଯ୍ୟାଦା ଅନୁସାରେ ହେଉ।

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Maintain one-pointedness and pursue yoga through regulated disciplines; undertake appropriate austerities (like pañcatapas for a forest-dweller) and consume or use things only in a manner consistent with nyāya—propriety, justice, and right measure.

What is happening in the narrative?

Śiva (Mahādeva) is instructing on ascetic-yogic conduct: he outlines concrete practices—summer pañcatapas, regulated maṇḍūka-yoga—and frames them within an ethical rule of right and measured enjoyment (yathā-nyāyam).
