Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections
अरुन्धत्यपि कल्याणी तपोनित्याभवत् तदा । “वे तपस्वी मुनि वहीं आश्रम बनाकर रहने लगे। उस समय कल्याणी अरुन्धती भी प्रतिदिन तपस्यामें ही लगी रही
Arundhaty api kalyāṇī tapo-nityābhavat tadā.
毗湿摩波耶那说道:当时,吉祥的阿伦达蒂也恒常安住于苦行(tapas),日日不懈。诸苦行牟尼就在那处建立精舍(āśrama)而居。那时,善美的阿伦达蒂亦每日专注修持苦行,始终如一。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights dharmic steadiness: true virtue is shown through consistent self-discipline (tapas) and unwavering commitment to a righteous way of life, not merely through words or status.
The narrator states that during that period Arundhatī, described as kalyāṇī (virtuous/auspicious), remained continually engaged in austerities—indicating a sustained ascetic mode of living in the hermitage context.
