Siddhashrama and the Vāmana Narrative
तमुवाच हरि: प्रीत: कश्यपं धूतकल्मषम्।वरं वरय भद्रं ते वरार्होऽसि मतो मम ।।1.29.14।।
tam uvāca hariḥ prītaḥ kaśyapaṃ dhūtakalmaṣam | varaṃ varaya bhadraṃ te varārho ’si mato mama || 1.29.14 ||
تب ہری خوش ہو کر کَشیپ سے—جس کے گناہ دھل چکے تھے—فرمایا: “کوئی ور مانگو؛ تم پر بھلائی ہو۔ میرے نزدیک تم ور کے لائق اور مجھے عزیز ہو۔”
Having heard those words of Vishnu, Kasyapa, son of Maricha, replied, "O bestower of boons, O great practitioner of austerities! Be pleased to grant a boon for Aditi, devatas and for myself.
Right effort bears fitting results: purified conduct and truthful discipline are acknowledged, and divine grace responds proportionately to merit.
Viṣṇu, satisfied with Kāśyapa’s austerities, offers him the choice of a boon.
Purity through penance: removal of inner impurities (kalmaṣa) by sustained ethical and ascetic practice.
