अहं यास्यामि सुश्रोणि काननं तपसः कृते । त्वं प्रार्थय वरं कंचिद्येनाभीष्टं ददामि ते
ahaṃ yāsyāmi suśroṇi kānanaṃ tapasaḥ kṛte | tvaṃ prārthaya varaṃ kaṃcidyenābhīṣṭaṃ dadāmi te
اے خوش کمر والی! میں تپسیا کے لیے جنگل کو جاؤں گا۔ تم کوئی ور مانگو؛ جس کے ذریعے میں تمہاری مراد پوری کر دوں گا۔
Ṛcīka (implied, addressing his wife)
Scene: A calm, ascetic-minded husband addresses his wife with tenderness, announcing departure to the forest for austerities and inviting her to ask a boon; domestic courtyard at dawn, travel staff and water-pot visible.
Austerity (tapas) is shown as purposeful and beneficent—spiritual discipline is paired with compassionate granting of rightful wishes.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse; it references a forest setting for tapas.
Tapas (austerity) in a forest is indicated as the sage’s discipline, though no detailed rite is specified.
