The rigid vow I have betaken to, is called Ajagara. That vow can secure immortality. It is auspicious and griefless. It is peerless and pure. It is in harmony with the advises of the sages. It is disregarded by persons of weak intellect who never practise it. With pure heart I conduct myself in accordance with to it.
अचलमनिधनं शिवं विशोकं शुचिमतुलं विदुषां मते प्रविष्टम्। व्रतमिदमाजगरं शुचिश्चरामि॥
