सा च तीव्रं तपस्तेपे महाभागा यशस्विनी । उतथ्यार्थ तु चार्वज्ी परं नियममास्थिता
sā ca tīvrāṁ tapas tepe mahābhāgā yaśasvinī | utathyārthaṁ tu cārv-aṅgī paraṁ niyamam āsthitā ||
И она — славная и великоодарённая судьбой — предалась суровым аскезам. Желая обрести Утатхью в мужья, прекрасноликая дева приняла высочайший обет самообуздания и начала тяжкое покаяние.
अजुन उवाच
The verse highlights niyama (disciplined self-restraint) and tapas (austerity) as ethically potent means to pursue a righteous aim—here, the socially and dharmically framed goal of attaining a worthy husband—showing resolve, purity of intention, and steadfast practice.
Arjuna describes a renowned, noble woman who undertakes intense austerities. Her purpose is specifically to obtain Utathya as her husband, and she therefore adopts the highest observances and vows to accomplish that aim.
