एवं स निश्चयं कृत्वा तपश्चके ततः परम् । नियतो नियताहारः परां निष्ठां समाश्रितः
evaṃ sa niścayaṃ kṛtvā tapaścake tataḥ param | niyato niyatāhāraḥ parāṃ niṣṭhāṃ samāśritaḥ
Đã lập chí kiên cố như vậy, ông liền thực hành khổ hạnh. Sống nghiêm cẩn, tiết chế ẩm thực, ông nương tựa nơi sự định tâm tối thượng.
Narrator (Purāṇic narration)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara (goal of tapas)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Citraśarman in an austere grove or shrine precinct, seated in meditation on kuśa grass, water-pot beside him, thin from regulated diet, eyes steady—time passing indicated by changing seasons around him.
Spiritual goals are attained through firm resolve, disciplined living, and sustained tapas aligned with dharma.
The broader context is the Hāṭakeśvara sacred narrative in Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya, where austerity supports the site’s sanctification.
Tapas with self-restraint (niyata) and regulated diet (niyatāhāra), implying vrata-like discipline.
