ततः कृच्छ्रव्रतं चक्रे ततः सांतपनं च सा । षष्ठान्नकालभोज्या च सा चाभूद्वत्सरत्रयम्
tataḥ kṛcchravrataṃ cakre tataḥ sāṃtapanaṃ ca sā | ṣaṣṭhānnakālabhojyā ca sā cābhūdvatsaratrayam
Depois ela assumiu o voto de Kṛcchra e, em seguida, o voto de Sāṃtapana. Também viveu por três anos alimentando-se apenas no tempo da sexta refeição, com severa restrição.
Sūta (narrative continuation)
Type: kund
Scene: A devoted woman performing severe vows: sparse meal at prescribed time, simple garments, prayerful posture near a sacred water-body; attendants or sages observing her discipline.
Steady, escalating austerities—undertaken over years—are portrayed as a path of purification and spiritual power.
The verse continues the tīrtha-context narrative but focuses on the vows rather than naming the site.
Kṛcchra-vrata, Sāṃtapana-vrata, and a prolonged regimen of highly restricted eating.
