ताभ्यां च तदपि त्यक्तं भोक्ष्यावः श्वो वरानने । प्रसंगादुपवासो नौ तवाद्यास्तु शुभावहः
tābhyāṃ ca tadapi tyaktaṃ bhokṣyāvaḥ śvo varānane | prasaṃgādupavāso nau tavādyāstu śubhāvahaḥ
Vì hai người ấy, điều kia cũng đã được để riêng. Ôi người có dung nhan đoan mỹ, chúng ta sẽ dùng bữa vào ngày mai. Do duyên cớ, hôm nay chúng ta giữ trai giới; nguyện ngày của nàng được cát tường và đem lại điều lành.

FAQs

It highlights self-control and patience—choosing to defer eating—and pairs that restraint with benevolent speech, wishing auspiciousness for the other person.
This specific verse reads as a practical, dharma-oriented dialogue about conduct (fasting and auspicious blessing). It does not explicitly mention deities or a sectarian doctrine in the excerpt provided.
