अंगुष्ठतर्जनीयोगं कृत्वा हृदयसंगतम् । एवं तत्रोपविष्टस्य स सर्पस्तस्य विग्रहम्
aṃguṣṭhatarjanīyogaṃ kṛtvā hṛdayasaṃgatam | evaṃ tatropaviṣṭasya sa sarpastasya vigraham
اس نے انگوٹھے اور شہادت کی انگلی کو ملا کر اسے دل کے مقام پر رکھا؛ یوں بیٹھے ہوئے اس کے جسمانی پیکر کی طرف وہ سانپ آ پہنچا۔
Sūta (deduced: Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Vaidyanātha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A meditating ascetic with thumb and forefinger joined, hands drawn to the heart; from the side, a serpent glides toward him, while the yogin remains composed.
Inner focus (mudrā and heart-centered awareness) is shown as the foundation for remaining unmoved when fearsome trials arise.
The context is Tīrthamāhātmya, but this verse does not name the tīrtha directly.
A meditative hand-gesture (thumb–forefinger joining, placed at the heart) is described as part of yogic practice.
