सूत्र में कहे अनुसार यावत् जो अपने शरीर को काष्ठ जैसा बना देते हैं, उनमें से जो तापस दिशाप्रोक्षक हैं, उनके पास मुण्डित होकर मैं दिक्प्रोक्षक- तापस-रूप प्रव्रज्या अंगीकार करूँ । प्रव्रज्या लेकर इस प्रकार का अभिग्रह धारण करूँ कि 'यावज्जीवन निरन्तर छठ - छठ की तपस्या द्वारा दिक्चक्रवाल तप-कर्म में दोनों भुजाएँ ऊँची रखकर रहना मेरे लिये कल्पनीय है।' शिव राजा ने इस प्रकार का विचार किया ।
यह विचार कर दूसरे दिन प्रातःकाल सूर्योदय होने पर अनेक प्रकार की लोढ़ियाँ, लोहे की कड़ाही आदि तापसोचित भण्डोपकरण तैयार कर कौटुम्बिक पुरुषों को बुलाया और इस प्रकार कहा - हे देवानुप्रियो ! शीघ्र ही हस्तिनापुर नगर के बाहर और भीतर जल का छिड़काव करके स्वच्छ कराओ आदि; यावत् उन्होंने राजा की आज्ञानुसार कार्य करवाकर राजा को निवेदन किया।
6. Once during the last quarter of a night, while king Shiva was pondering over the workload of his state duties, an aspiration surfaced in his mind that it is the result of his past meritorious karmas (like that mentioned in the story of Tamil hermit in the first lesson of the third chapter)... and so on up to ... I am gaining continuous growth in terms of sons, livestock, kingdom, state, army, vehicles, treasure, warehouses, forts, inner quarters etc. I am also enjoying unlimited growth of wealth, gold, gems... and so on up to ...valuable things. Now that I am still enjoying absolute happiness due to my past meritorious karmas, as long as my gold etc. is increasing... and so on up to... and my subordinates, including kings and ministers, are under my command, it would be to my benefit that tomorrow when the night ends and the brilliant sun rises I should arrange to get made numerous grinding stones (lodhi), cooking pans (kadaahi) and spoons ( kaduchhi) of iron and utensils of copper that can take heat. Then I should install prince Shivabhadra on the throne of the kingdom. After that I should take those utensils of iron and copper suitable for taapasas (hermits) and go to those hermits who have renounced their homes and live on the banks of the Ganges River. Those taapasas (hermits) include-Agnihotri (those who do offerings at
th fire sacrifice), Potrik ( the clad ones); Kautrik (those who sleep on the
卐
फ्र ground); Yajnik (those who perform yajna or ritual sacrifice); Shraaddhakin (those who perform rituals for the benefit of deceased relatives); Sthaalakin (those who carry plate or thaali and other pots); Humbauttha (jungle dwelling ones); Dantukhalik (those who remove husk
