ଦେବୀ କହିଲେ—ହେ ଦେବ! ସାବିତ୍ରୀ ଆଚରିତ ସେଇ ମହାବ୍ରତ କିପରି? ଏବଂ ଜ୍ୟେଷ୍ଠ ମାସରେ ତାହାର ବିଧାନ କେମିତି?
Devī (Pārvatī)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Maheśa (Śiva)
Scene: Devī respectfully questions Maheśa: her posture attentive, hands in añjali; Śiva seated as teacher; the full moon and Jyeṣṭha seasonal cues (bright sky, heat-haze) subtly indicated.
True observance requires knowing vidhāna (method); devotion is strengthened by precise dharmic procedure.
The teaching belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s māhātmya, where vows and tīrtha-merit are expounded.
The verse requests details of the Sāvitrī-vrata, specifically its Jyeṣṭha-month procedure (vidhāna).
