aṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśyāmubhayorapi parvaṇoḥ | saṃkalpaṃ vidhivatkṛtvā prātaḥsnānaṃ samācaret
ଅଷ୍ଟମୀ ଓ ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶୀ—ଏହି ଦୁଇ ପର୍ବତିଥିରେ—ବିଧିମତେ ସଙ୍କଳ୍ପ କରି ପ୍ରାତଃସ୍ନାନ ଆଚରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ।
Muni (blind sage; contextual)
Listener: Śārada
Scene: A devotee performs saṅkalpa at dawn on aṣṭamī and caturdaśī, then undertakes the morning bath as part of the vow cycle.
A vow becomes spiritually effective through deliberate intention (saṅkalpa) and purity practices like ritual bathing.
No named tīrtha; the act is general and can be performed wherever proper practice is possible.
On Aṣṭamī and Caturdaśī, make saṅkalpa properly and perform prātaḥsnāna (morning bath).
