एवमुक्त्वाऽथ सा देवी विशेषव्रतमास्थिता । अवमन्य महादेवं प्रार्थयानमपि स्वयम्
evamuktvā'tha sā devī viśeṣavratamāsthitā | avamanya mahādevaṃ prārthayānamapi svayam
ଏଭଳି କହି ସେ ଦେବୀ ବିଶେଷ ବ୍ରତ ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲେ; ଏବଂ ସ୍ୱୟଂ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଥିବା ମହାଦେବଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଅବମାନ କଲେ।
Narrator (Purāṇic)
Scene: Devī, after speaking, adopts a distinctive vow—standing apart in austerity—while Śiva entreats her; the emotional distance is visible: Devī’s firm posture versus Śiva’s pleading calm.
Vows are powerful, but they should be grounded in right understanding; disregarding wise counsel can intensify inner conflict.
