Pātivratya-kathana
The Narrative of the Pativrata
हार लघूत्तरं चक्रे मातुर्नृपसुतस्तदा । वलया वज्रखचिता द्विरष्टौ करयोर्द्वयोः ॥ ३७ ॥
hāra laghūttaraṃ cakre māturnṛpasutastadā | valayā vajrakhacitā dviraṣṭau karayordvayoḥ || 37 ||
تب بادشاہ کے بیٹے نے اپنی ماں کے لیے ہلکا اور نہایت نفیس ہار تیار کیا، اور اس کے دونوں ہاتھوں کے لیے ہیروں سے جڑے سولہ کنگن بھی بنوائے۔
Suta (narrative voice within the Purana)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It highlights dharmic intention expressed through respectful gifting—honouring one’s mother and performing acts associated with merit (puṇya) within a mahatmya-style narrative.
While not explicitly devotional, it supports bhakti’s ethical foundation: reverence, gratitude, and selfless service (especially to parents) that purifies the heart and prepares one for devotion to Vishnu.
No direct Vedanga instruction appears; the verse is narrative, illustrating dharma through conduct and gifting rather than technical sciences like Vyakarana or Jyotisha.
