उपोषिता स्वयं तस्मिन्दिने नियममाश्रिता । जजाप परमं मंत्रमुपदिष्टं महात्मना
upoṣitā svayaṃ tasmindine niyamamāśritā | jajāpa paramaṃ maṃtramupadiṣṭaṃ mahātmanā
அன்றே அவள் தானே உபவாசமிருந்து நியமத்தைப் பற்றிக் கொண்டாள்; மகாத்மர் உபதேசித்த பரம மந்திரத்தை ஜபித்தாள்।
Sūta (continued narration context)
Scene: A woman sits in a clean, simple space, fasting, holding a japa-mālā; a venerable sage is nearby, indicating the mantra’s guru-origin.
Austerity (fasting) joined with disciplined mantra-japa makes devotion focused and spiritually potent.
No site is specified; the emphasis is on inner tīrtha—purification through niyama, upavāsa, and japa.
Upavāsa on the ritual day, adherence to niyamas, and japa of a guru-instructed supreme mantra.
