Devanagari script

Transliteration

satyavādī jitakrodhaḥ śāligodhūmagorasaiḥ pakṣayoraṣṭamīṃ yatnād upavāsena vartayet

Translation

Que o devoto—veraz e vencedor da ira—observe com cuidado a Aṣṭamī de ambas as quinzenas por meio do jejum, sustentando-se apenas de arroz, trigo e dos produtos da vaca. Por tal contenção disciplinada, o paśu é purificado do pāśa e torna-se apto à graça de Śiva (Pati).
