The Greatness of Puruṣottama
Goloka-tattva and Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa Upāsanā
जज्ञे हिमवतः क्षेत्रे मेनायां पुनरेव च । ततस्तप्त्वा तपो भद्रे शिवं प्राप शिवप्रदा ॥ ३१ ॥
jajñe himavataḥ kṣetre menāyāṃ punareva ca | tatastaptvā tapo bhadre śivaṃ prāpa śivapradā || 31 ||
她又一次诞生于喜马瓦特(Himavat)的圣域,成为梅娜(Menā)之女。继而,噢吉祥者,经由苦行修持,她得证湿婆——她是赐予与湿婆合一者。

It presents rebirth in a sacred Himalayan setting followed by tapas as the means to attain Śiva—highlighting the Purāṇic ideal that sustained austerity, grounded in dharma, culminates in divine union and auspiciousness.
Although the verse centers on tapas, its goal is personal attainment of Śiva, implying one-pointed devotion expressed through disciplined practice—devotion that matures into direct divine proximity.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is directly taught; the practical takeaway is ritual-ascetic discipline (tapas) as a regulated sādhana, consistent with dharma-oriented observances described across Purāṇic practice.
