श्रीकरी शिवतावासकारिणी सर्वसिद्धिदा । अथ ते नवमीं नित्यां त्वरितां नाम नारद ॥ १२८ ॥
śrīkarī śivatāvāsakāriṇī sarvasiddhidā | atha te navamīṃ nityāṃ tvaritāṃ nāma nārada || 128 ||
Ngài ban phú quý, khiến bản tính cát tường của Śiva an trú trong lòng, và ban mọi thành tựu. Nay, hỡi Nārada, ta sẽ nói về pháp nguyện ngày Cửu (Navamī) được giữ thường hằng, mang danh “Tvaritā”.
Sanatkumara (in dialogue addressing Narada)
Vrata: Tvaritā-vrata (Navamī)
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
The verse introduces Tvaritā as a power that grants prosperity and “all siddhis,” framing the Navamī observance as a disciplined, repeatable vrata that purifies and empowers the practitioner through Devi-upāsanā.
It presents bhakti in a vrata-form: steady, “nitya” observance directed to a named deity (Tvaritā), where devotion is expressed through regular worship and yields auspiciousness (śivatā) and spiritual attainments.
It relies on calendrical/ritual timing via the lunar tithi (Navamī), a key practical element used in vrata-dharma; correct tithi-based observance is central to Purāṇic ritual instruction.
