उपवासं च दानानि व्रतानि नियमांस्तथा । चचार द्वादशाब्दानि ततो मुक्तः स किल्बिषैः
upavāsaṃ ca dānāni vratāni niyamāṃstathā | cacāra dvādaśābdāni tato muktaḥ sa kilbiṣaiḥ
اس نے بارہ برس تک روزے، دان، ورت اور ریاضتیں کیں؛ پھر وہ اپنے گناہوں سے آزاد ہو گیا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced for Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā)
Type: tirtha
Scene: Soma as an ascetic on the Narmadā bank: fasting, giving alms to sages, observing vows through seasons; a montage-like narrative of twelve years.
Sustained dharmic discipline—fasting, charity, vows, and restraint—functions as purification and leads to release from sin.
The verse does not name a specific tīrtha; it continues the Revā Khaṇḍa context of purification connected with sacred practice.
Upavāsa (fasting), dāna (charity), vrata (vows), and niyama (observances) practiced over a long period (twelve years).
