अयं च नियमोस्माकमद्यारभ्य कलावति । निर्वेक्ष्यामो महाभोगान्दृष्ट्वा तां ज्ञानवापिकाम्
ayaṃ ca niyamosmākamadyārabhya kalāvati | nirvekṣyāmo mahābhogāndṛṣṭvā tāṃ jñānavāpikām
கலாவதியே, இன்று முதல் எங்களின் விரதம் இதுவே—அந்த ஞானவாபியைத் தரிசித்த பின், பெரும் போகங்களைத் துச்சமாகக் கருதி விலக்குவோம்.
Kalāvatī’s attendants (declaring a vow)
Tirtha: Jñānavāpī
Type: kund
Scene: Attendants declare a vow: once they behold Jñānavāpī, they will renounce great pleasures; their faces show calm determination rather than excitement.
True tīrtha-darśana is portrayed as generating vairāgya (detachment) and commitment to disciplined living (niyama).
