तं भवानर्हति च्छेत्तुं याथार्थ्येन सुविस्तरात् । तिथेः प्रांतमुपोष्यं स्यादाहोस्विन्मूलमेव च ॥ ७ ॥
taṃ bhavānarhati cchettuṃ yāthārthyena suvistarāt | titheḥ prāṃtamupoṣyaṃ syādāhosvinmūlameva ca || 7 ||
اس شک کو آپ ہی حقیقت کے ساتھ تفصیل سے دور کر سکتے ہیں۔ فرمائیے—روزہ تِتھی کے اختتام تک رکھا جائے یا تِتھی کے اصل، یعنی آغاز ہی سے؟
Narada (questioning a senior sage/teacher in the dialogue frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It frames a key dharma question: spiritual discipline (upavāsa) becomes fruitful when its timing is aligned with tithi, so the seeker asks for an exact, truthful rule rather than an approximate practice.
By seeking precise vrata timing, the devotee shows reverence and careful obedience—hallmarks of bhakti expressed through disciplined observance rather than mere sentiment.
Vedāṅga-style calendrical/ritual precision is implied—especially tithi reckoning used in vrata decisions (a practical application of jyotiṣa-based lunar-day calculation in ritual life).
