चातुर्मास्ये विशेषेण जन्मकष्टादिनाशनम् । हरिरेव व्रताद्ग्राह्यो व्रतं देहेन कारयेत् । देहोऽयं तपसा शोध्यः सुप्ते देवे तपोनिधौ

cāturmāsye viśeṣeṇa janmakaṣṭādināśanam | harireva vratādgrāhyo vrataṃ dehena kārayet | deho'yaṃ tapasā śodhyaḥ supte deve taponidhau

Translation

โดยเฉพาะในกาลจาตุรมาสยะ พรตนี้ย่อมทำลายความทุกข์แห่งการเกิดและสิ่งทั้งปวง. ให้ถือพระหริเท่านั้นเป็นเป้าหมายแห่งพรต และพึงปฏิบัติพรตด้วยกายนี้. กายนี้พึงชำระด้วยตบะ ขณะพระผู้เป็นเจ้า—ขุมทรัพย์แห่งตบะ—บรรทมในโยคนิทรา.

FAQs

Cāturmāsya is a powerful spiritual window: dedicate the vow to Hari, purify the body through tapas, and thereby cut down the pains bound up with repeated birth.

This verse focuses on the season and its discipline rather than naming a particular tīrtha, though it appears within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.

Perform Cāturmāsya-vrata with embodied austerity (tapas), explicitly dedicating the observance to Hari as its intended fruit and focus.
