पर्वताग्रे महारण्ये नदीसंगे शिवालये । ब्रह्मचर्यरतो लक्षं जपेदखिलसिद्धये ॥ १०१ ॥
parvatāgre mahāraṇye nadīsaṃge śivālaye | brahmacaryarato lakṣaṃ japedakhilasiddhaye || 101 ||
Sa tuktok ng bundok, sa malawak na gubat, sa tagpuan ng mga ilog, o sa templo ni Śiva—na nakatuon sa brahmacarya—dapat bigkasin ang mantra nang isang daang libong ulit upang makamtan ang lahat ng katuparan.

It teaches that disciplined mantra-japa (a fixed count of one lakh) becomes especially potent when supported by brahmacarya and performed in spiritually charged locations like mountain tops, forests, river confluences, or Śiva temples—leading to broad spiritual and ritual attainments (siddhis).
By recommending japa in a Śiva-ālayā and other sacred settings, the verse frames devotion as steady remembrance through mantra repetition, strengthened by purity of conduct (brahmacarya) and reverence for holy places.
It emphasizes practical mantra-sādhana procedure: choosing an auspicious sacred venue (tīrtha/śivālaya), maintaining a vow of brahmacarya, and completing a prescribed japa-count (lakṣa), reflecting applied ritual discipline rather than theory.
