Description of Cyavana’s Austerity and Enjoyment
ह्रदं प्रवेशितोऽश्विभ्यां स्वयं चामज्जतां ह्रदे । पुरुषास्त्रय उत्तस्थुरपीच्या वनिताप्रियाः
hradaṃ praveśito'śvibhyāṃ svayaṃ cāmajjatāṃ hrade | puruṣāstraya uttasthurapīcyā vanitāpriyāḥ
เมื่ออัศวินทั้งสองนำพวกเขาเข้าสู่สระแล้ว ทั้งสองก็จมลงในสระนั้นด้วย ครั้นแล้วบุรุษสามคนผุดขึ้นมา งามยิ่งนัก เป็นที่รักยิ่งของสตรีทั้งหลาย

Concept: Purification is not merely symbolic: in Purāṇic imagination, sacred immersion under divine guidance can restore vitality and dharmic capacity for life’s duties.
Application: Use ‘renewal moments’ (bathing, retreat, pilgrimage, vows, disciplined habits) to rise from stagnation with a clearer purpose; let regained strength serve dharma rather than vanity.
